What Poetry Means To Me




What poetry means to me
I cannot begin to express
For it may mean a lot
That silent kept is best

Poetry, we can say
Is what makes you feel free
It's not like Maths
Limited to one, two, three
Or as heavy and restricted
As Physics or Chemistry

The world of poetry is another
A world visible to none
A world that hides forever
Once the poet is done

A world with a thousand rooms
Each with a different view
The challenge is to find yours
And transform it into something new

Into something that's appealing
Into something with a meaning
For that's what poetry is
Something that's heart-stealing

Poetry is how you put things
In the most beautiful way
It matters 'how' you say it
Not 'what' you do or say

There's no right or wrong
It doesn't have to be in sing-song
It's a voice from the heart
You'll hear it once you start!
