Well as you can tell, <br />This is just another one of those poem thingies. <br /> <br />But I ask you, <br />'What is poetry? I mean, <br />Do people just write words in wierd orders.' <br /> <br />Well, poetry is an expression, <br />An opinion, well I guess it could be, <br />Anything, <br />From a very 'sensitive' piece of writing <br />To an essay that you wrote three years ago. <br /> <br />The definition that you find in a dictionary <br />Has nothing to do with poetry. <br />It is just a summary, <br />No an assumsion of what those fools writing the dictionaries <br />Think it is. <br /> <br />Poetry is whatever you want it to be. <br />So next time some person who thinks that they're too cool, <br />And that your so stupid because you like poetry, <br />Weather it's writing it or just reading it, <br />Tell them that they write it too, <br />Weather or not they consider it to be poetry, <br />It's their opinion and anything, <br />Can be poetry. <br /> <br />I have a love for poetry, <br />That can not be described. <br />I know, <br />That sounds obsesive. <br />But I really do love poetry. <br />I feel like I can say anything and, <br />It doesn't have to be serious, <br />I mean it can, <br />But it is not required. <br />Nothing is required of you when you write poetry. <br /> <br />It is relaxing, <br />A chance to step aside from life, <br />Even if it's just for a few minutes. <br />I do it for my own enjoyment an relaxation. <br />Why do you?<br /><br />maddy macleod<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-another-one-of-those-poem-thingies/
