Poetry: A World Of Wonder

Poetry,

What a fancy word.

Something that the world admires,

But only a few understand.

What is poetry?

Poetry is life,

Life from the perspective of a living soul.

It is the array of words,

Written under the influence,

Of an aromatic cup of coffee.

It is the yearning for a loved one,

And the warmth of a soulful embrace.

It can take any shape or form,

It can make you cry, or jump in joy.

Poetry is a world of the unknown,

No one knows what it really means,

But we all know that it exists,

Maybe that is all poetry is.

A proof that we all exist.

A symbol of life.

But what really is poetry?

I guess we'll never know.
