i write poetry because i
want to live forever
to me, poetry is a wall
that’s made so strong and fierce,
that it can’t be broken, humans it mocks.
it flows into minds like rushing streams,
and sings like silvery mermaids on rocks.
each one crafted by a warm heart,
and a mind working to make art that’s alive,
each syllable and letter’s twist is planned,
to create a poem that will survive
