What poetry is all about


What Poetry Is All About

Poetry is an escape.

An escape from reality.

To write poetry

Is to bring to being

Your imagination

That has been hiding

From reality.

When a sentence will not do,

Poetry will tell it for You!

Where reality lacks,

Poetry will take up the slack!

Poetry is a way

For you to say

What reality cannot!

So go crazy!

Reality matters not!

Set your imagination free!
