Poetic Semantics 101

What is poetry? To me? It would have to be… A form of expression, Designed to outline, The solutions to all my trying times, The nature of all life lessons, The keys to unraveling internally hidden blessings, The pathway to learning from past ways Poetry, to me? It is the new day, That springs out of the muck of old days, It is the new clarity, That brings me toward harmony and solidarity, It is the joy that arises from my deepest pits of sorrow, The rhythmic lines to my heart are so sublime Poetry, to me? Is a gift. A gift designed to uplift Poetry, to me? Opens new doors, Showing me new corridors, Of positivity and change, Bringing my mind to an open range, Enabling me to succeed, Within my own means Poetry was specialized for me, I mean.. How could it not be?... When poetry, rhymes with Jaylyn Perry? Silly right? I know, I know. It’s alright, No worries, I’m done, That was just simply my poetic semantics 101.
