What is Poetry?



What is poetry?
Poetry is a mission of our thoughts, those millions of thoughts within our minds.  It spews such things that matter, not only to us but to others as well.  Things that concern us, those passions that touch our very souls.  It releases those thoughts into the Universe!  But first, we must speak it-we must pen it-we must give it voice!  Yes, Give it measure!  By doing so, it can always be shared and reflected upon.  It will continuously be read and it will remain on its journey and be heard, just as it unanimously ravishes echoes from the countless poets of our past! Therefore,”poetry”will never cease-and shall remain divinely infinite!
