Today I pondered the thought of "what is poetry," I became frustrated when i didn't know and couldn't answer it. I looked it up but I still wasn't satisfied. Here is what I think poetry is. Poetry is personal, It is a song without a melody, It is the inner feelings that can only be expressed through writing, It's peaceful, It's angering, It's frustrating, It's satisfying, It's a memory, It's a dream, It's a wish, Poetry is a release, A way of relaxing, Sometimes it's easy Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes the words come flowing faster than you can write, the next time you sit searching for the right words to say.
