Poetry is

Poetry is staring at a ceiling and finding words

To relate that ceiling to your love life

Because the right words can make any man think

That the ceiling above his head

Perfectly relates to

His love

Life

Poetry is a complex piece of art that most critics

Consider meaningless

But those few critics who take the time to look at

And observe the art form find it

Not only beautiful, but

Important for us

To see

Poetry is an emotion that is not captured by one word

But is rather captured by alliteration

Or maybe it’s captured by an image or two

Or maybe some rhymes

Or a metaphor

A simile or

Two?

Poetry is a skill that is deeper than meaning

Poetry is thought provoking thought that is teaming

Poetry is needed and even though that I kid

I desire the art that makes language live
