Poetry is the heart,
Speaking out,
It is your soul,
Flying across the page,

Poetry is your feelings,
Deep in thought,
It is your blood,
Running through your veins,

Poetry is your mind,
Silent but heard,
It is your thoughts,
Just waiting to be seen,

Poetry is your lust,
Just waiting to be felt,
It is your desires,
Just waiting to be free,

Poetry is your life,
Just waiting to be read,
Poetry is everything,
Just waiting to be written.
DO YOU SWEAR NOT TO HURT ME?
Said the scissors to the rock
I  KNOW WE HAVE A HISTORY
BUT I ASSURE I DO NOT MOCK!

The rock looked at the paper
Then he looked back at his feet
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY he said
I THINK YOU'RE REALLY NEAT

The scissors was beside herself
Jumped high into the air
But because she was so gleeful
Snipped off some of paper's hair

So paper screamed and shouted
She was mad with awful rage
And she jumped onto rock's back
As he tried to turn the page

The scissors with confusion
Felt to blame and so she rushed
To try and help the rock
In the process getting crushed

And so the rock got still
Lying covered by the sheet
When paper realized what she'd done
She fluttered to rock's feet

And cried and cried and sobbed
And stared at her split ends

And paper rock and scissors
Would never become friends.
