Poetry is Life.

It’s something like a fog, My past before I wrote poetry. I was a spunky schoolgirl, around 7 or 8 with a BIG personality. So badly I wanted to release My perspective, Imagination, All the stories and songs that I had to share… But how? And then came poetry, The light that brightened my smile The rhymes flowing out of my mind In beautiful stanzas like a florescent scent being released from a flower- A beautiful little flower Dr.Seuss, Shell Silverstein, Roald Dahl Their talented voices sang through my head. Page by page my heart grew attached So my collection of poems began to flourish Consisting of my favorite poets and my own original pieces. More and more Inspiration grasps my heart, my soul The warm release of freedom when I write is my comforting drive. Poetry is a loving and living person. Building me up when I’m low and always encouraging me to stand strong through the storm A special listener, a great friend, and sometimes a reliable source for advice Vacations, Friends, Family, School, God And my first loves… I scribble it all down, bringing life to new creations Pen and paper act as my wand and magic My passion and drive And some day Yes, one day Not too far from today I will touch the lives of others With my passion for poetry And give every reader the rush and excitement That began an important part of my life At 7 or 8 years old.
