To Poetry or not to Poetry



To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
Shall I write poetry or not write poetry that is the question
Shall I recite poetry or not recite poetry that is a suggestion
Shall I study poetry or not study poetry that is an observation
Can be Loved or not be Loved
that is the Affection
Can I deal with Life or not deal with Life
that is called Life's Lessons
Can I share my feelings or not share my feelings they would be my Expressions
Shall I acknowledge or not acknowledge
These are my Confessions.
If I will, If I won't, If I can, If I don't
If I must, I will try
to continue as I write.
To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
I would say Yes
If I was asked to do so,
 I would do it as a
Profession

About this poem

NOTE: I was feeling a little Hamlet-ish by William Shakespeare while writing this. I Hope this Ok! Well, I did study him a little in School.
