What is Poetry
"What Is Poetry"
To express oneself, truly and completely,
no longer hiding away your emotions discreetly.
To reveal yourself and your quiet vulnerability,
to find oneself and create some stability.
To release the terror, the fear, the guilt,
to not allow your hard earned hope to wilt.
To remember times long past, good and bad,
to reflect on your emotions, happy and sad.
To describe a world you feel different within,
to forgive yourself and let go of those past sins.
For me, to write poetry isn't as much an art,
as it is a new and brightly lit fresh start.
To healing and conquering all of life's battles,
It is my horse, freshly brushed and ready for saddle.
It is my voice when I can't speak the words,
when I feel unseen, or mistakenly unheard.
So hear me out through my true release,
if you wish to know me, of this, I beg, please.

Art of Poetry craft truth into rhythm. Find your voice, master imagery and form, write bravely, revise sharply, and turn life into lines that last.
