What is Poetry


What is poetry more than words
Thought into existence by a writer.
 
What is life than a mystery unspurred
No explanation seeming any righter.
 
What is death than sad feelings blurred
Friends’ burdens becoming not lighter.
 
What is love than adoration preferred
A bond constantly growing ever tighter.
 
What is pain than good feelings deterred
Emotions never growing any brighter.
 
Poetry is so much more words
Reflecting emotions felt by a writer.
