What is Poetry
In abstract eyes
what is poetry,
but words weaved in
meter, verse and rhymes
to explain profound
vivid images
using metaphors,
or simple stanzas.
What our eyes capture,
what our mind thinks and
the moods of our heart.
Some inspired by the
moon, flowers or love,
politics and health,
showing and telling
in different styles
or freely flowing.
Using techniques like
alliteration,
syllable forms like
cinquain and choka
or an acrostic.
Poems will make us
laugh, cry or relate,
so let your ink bleed
to release your thoughts
in whatever way
your soul desires to
express without
ignorant judgement.
