poetry is someone's pure emotion
poured onto the page
beyond what's apparent
poetry is an orchestra of words
playing a symphony
that only certain people can hear
poetry is for yourself
for others
or for no one at all
poetry can be self reflection
or self deprecation
poetry just is
I just started my poetry class this semester, and I was given this question the first day. This poem was my response to it. I'd also love to hear other's responses as well
