What is poetry? (4)

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.
