What is Poetry?


Poetry...

What does it mean?

Why! Just look at a tree,

look at the green.

Poetry is life.

Poetry is death.

Relieve us of strife,

burden us  with breath.

Poetry is verbal vocalization

of the purest communication within our civilization.

So to me,

I charge no fee.

Miraculous words to make us free.

Afterall, poetry is just a tree.
