What is Poetry?


Poetry

Cannot be forced

Poetry

Does not come when called

Poetry

Takes its time

Poetry

Comes when you least expect it

Poetry

Is its own ruler

Poetry

Has its own mind

Poetry

Thinks on its own

Poetry

Simply chooses a vessel

And then poetry

Watches

As the pieces fall

Into place
