Everything (What Poetry is)

The sword I use to fight the beast called ignorance by painting a picture with words to open the minds eye.

The mirror in which we look in to ask why.

How Do I?

Could it be?

What defines reality?



It is the complex algorithm only those educated in creativity can solve.

It has evolved into a blood line linking minds and generations

genre and sex's.

Crossing borders and reaching destinations man struggles to travel.



Sanctuary sought by seekers of a safe haven

to secretly separate from the self.



The suicide hotline sometimes utilized to save someone from themselves.

A child conceived to show the world many ways to display beauty and love



A means to bring life to things that would other wise be lifeless.



I run to poetry if my life meets a crisis.

To me it is priceless so I will always hold it dear.

Today is a better day because I found poetry here.
