What Poetry Means To Me


What poetry is to me

Poetry is unfamiliar

It is a foreign language

It is an enemy

 

Poetry is the flow of words

in one ear and out the other

Poetry is frustrating

It is condescending 

all while being soothing

 

What poetry is to me

is a goal

to understand the complexity

a potential friend
