You Me and Poetry
Learn more about other poetry terms
It's not just a string of words
Set out before you like an array of different cheeses
At a fancy party.
That's not what poetry is.
It's not just about the swing,
The thing that moves you out of your seat
I won't talk about who I amuntil the words are directed at no one,words shouted into air no one dare breathes. I am a good person,but that doesn't mean I am honest.
Abbey's eyes were champaign;
Her tongue a wild mare
When she galloped she kicked up words
like dust under Ozymandias' feet;
Sometimes I sit at my window and stare at the world beyond,
wondering how we will remember each moment as time flies.
I ask, I dream, I ponder, but silence is the only response.
What does poetry mean to me?
Hold on, let me think.
Okay. Ready?
Poetry is the sound of the ocean,
It is the stars that twinkle late at night.
Poetry is what love looks like.
