A Poet's Love Letter to Poetry
I remember when I first heard you
My unexpecting ears fell in love with your rhytym
Your anger
Your subtleness
Your vulgarity
And finally your resolve
When I fell, I fell hard.
You began to fill my time
I tried to imitate your ever changing patterns
I tried to be loud like you
to be soft like you
to be captivating like you
I wanted to open the inner most corners of my soul to you
I didnt want a piece of me that you didn't know
Years later, I still get butterflies in my stomach
My eyes still water from your beauty
Poetry, you have made me love you in all your forms
When I'm angry
I look to you for Slams
When I want something small but mighty
I look to you for Haikus
Thank you for affirming my love every time
Thank you for loving me as much as I love you
Poetry, Thank you
