And so my writing has begun

What is Poetry

Poetry is the innermost thoughts of your mind
It's the feelings and emotions
That can't be expressed in "normal" complete sentences
Poetry is words that the heart speaks
And words that speak to the heart
It is a language that many speak
And so many do not understand
Poetry is music to the ears
The rhythms and beats and sounds
It is words that rhyme
And some that don't
Poetry is an expression of the soul
Poetry is comfort and support and understanding
When you feel like no one is listening
Poetry is love that warms your heart
And the energy that flows through your veins
It is the air we breathe in
And the air we breathe out
Poetry is the words that flow through your hand
Into the pen and onto the paper
Poetry is inspiration
Poetry is the world
Poetry is you
Poetry is me
I am Poetry
