The True Meaning Of Poetry [Written by Zibusiso Ngcobo]
The True Meaning Of Poetry Written by Zibusiso Ngcobo
They say the truth shall set you free.
Well shall we see?
Poetry is no more just a section in a subject
But it is now a language.
A language to help children like me,
Who see no means to live.
A great man once said
Poetry gives you a glimpse of heaven
Well do you believe?
Let us ask WILLIAM SHAKE SPEAR
Who transformed poetry into drama.
Why? You may ask.
Well you may not see it as you read
But when you read with imagination,
Then you shall see.
All his stories have poetic devices in them
Why? You may ask.
What was he trying to reveal
Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet
What do these stories have in common?
Love, hate and deception
These are emotions
Poetry is now a way
To express ones feelings in a dramatic way
This was Shakes Spear’s intended way
A message to show you a way
So follow me,
As I drown myself,
In poetry
I have read both your poems.

We have some excellent poets on here. cevance is one of my favourites, he paints such wonderful pictures with his pen.
