Poetry



Poetry is more than thought or word,
Creation or deed
It is:
Inspiration, Vision, Emotion, Dedication, and Perseverance
It is:
Baring yourself to a level few can be comfortable with
Accepting compliment and criticism equally – mind open to other views
We rhyme, reason, time, count, scribble, and scratch
Then start over
Articulation, etymology, grammar, spelling
Let alone gender, tense, and visuals
So many things to remember and do

Just to bring a poem to you
