Poetry…poetry
I write poetry so it’s natural that I should explain
Why people write poetry
And why it can express both happiness and pain

Poetry…
Some people write poetry only for themselves
You or I will never get to see it
It’s kept under their bed, never on shelves.

Poetry…
It gives you a look into the lives of others
Makes you laugh or feel sympathy
Poetry about loves or dead sisters and brothers

Poetry…
Use to be all posh and technical
The writers like Rudyard Kipling were legendary
Now the readers and writers are us all

Poetry…
Never rushed or written in a hurry
Something so precious could never be done quickly
We all love poetry.
