What is poetry?


Asking a simple question,

what does poetry mean to me,

is it a jumble of phrases?

or is it more than it may seem?

 

Does it tell a story, a rhyme

or perhaps something more?

Is there a climax to climb?

Nobody knows for sure.

 

Maybe it shows something different,

like a fact or an expression,

or is there a deeper meaning,

like trying to tell a confession.

 

Does it show a problem, a riddle,

or something in need of solving?

Or maby its an expression of life

cuase its constantly always evolving

 

Maybe theres no real answer,

maybe theres no real solution,

poetry is waht you make of it,

and thats the final conclusion.
