The Teaching of Poetry

I have learned a lot from poetry.

It has taught me to be unique.

If everything is the same, 

things tend to look bleak.

Society wants everyone to fit perfectly in a frame

and if you don't, you're full of shame. 

In poetry, differences are welcomed.

different Rhyme Schemes,

different Rhythms, and different Themes

all help to contribute to poetry's diversification. 

Uniqueness has become a standard in my life.

With Poetry's teachings, 

I have become a better being.
