Poetry Is Rhythm

Human language is used for its aesthetic To me writing poetry is prolific It does not matter if it is oral or literary Just keep it simple and ordinary Conveying emotion or ideas to the reader's or listener's mind or ear When you read this tell me what you hear All these effects to generate meaning is what marks poetry Beauty is found more in the balance of ideas than in specific vocabulary Poetry was created to escape the logical That is when my pen, words, and paper become so magical I write with a combination of elements like theme tension, complex emotion, and profound reflective thought With my words I weave that trap so now the reader is caught There are several poetic forms, such as ballads, sonnets and rhyming couplets Compared with prose, poetry depends less on the linguistic units Alliteration and rhyme, use poetic structures Poetry is used in several sacred biblical scriptures Rhyming verses are frequently used in songs That is why it so easy for us to remember and sing along I always write more for the eye than for the ear I want the reader to be animated and be full of cheer Love, understanding, and hope that is what I'm giving them Poetry to me is life's need rhythm
