Poetry is

 Poetry is not just pretty words

For some of us

It is a way of life

We breathe it

It flows through our veins 


Poetry is not just pretty words 

It is

Passion 

Pain

Joy

Laughter 

Poetry is all of that

And so much more


We read poetry

We breathe poetry

Cry it

Bleed it

Poetry is our language 


Poetry pours from our throats

From our mouths

Like a mighty pouring of blood

Pouring forth

Soaking into all that is around us


The sound waves of our words

Resonate throughout time

Throughout space

For generations after generation 

To hear

To know they are not alone in their struggle
