What Is Poetry?

April 17, 2018

What is poetry?

Is it what we feel?

Is it what we think?

Is it something real?

How do we decide,

Whether poetry is true?

Does it come from within?

Is it familiar or new?

I think it’s something else

That poetry’s a song

And we are simply the voices

That learn to sing along.

Something wrong with this poem?
