Poetry is a great many things <br />to each poet you see, <br />Poetry even has various meanings <br />as to what it is to me <br /> <br /> Overall, <br /> <br />Poetry is the means <br />By which my heart communicates, <br />My mind finds the words <br />For these feelings and translates <br /> <br />Sometimes, <br /> <br />Poetry is my lover <br />My fantasies he fulfills <br />Beckoning me to crisp, white sheets <br />where my blacks and blues I spill <br /> <br />Or, <br /> <br />Poetry comes as a mysterious moon <br />appearing softly in the night, <br />age old secrets of the universe <br />he reveals to me with his light <br /> <br />See, <br /> <br />Poetry is my spirit <br />the connection to the Divine, <br />It lets me see what I am to be, <br />let’s me soar when I feel confined <br /> <br />So, <br /> <br />Don’t try too hard to define <br />What poetry really is <br />Just know that what you get from a poem <br />Is all a poet had to give <br /> <br />11.25.02<br /><br />Tamika Stubblefield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-undefined/
