This is a poem that i have written about what poetry means to me.

POETRY IS.........

poetry is in essence
just how we feel and act.
Our thoughts are written down
though not always exact.
they have a deeper meaning
than just what is being said,
the thoughts are coming from
our hearts,
and not from our heads.
For poetry is subtle
revealing of the soul.
The innermost feelings
that makes a person whole.
so as you read poetry
you've got to take your time.
To catch the meanings hidden
between the written lines.
