Poetry is my catharsis, my passion, my escape The golden spoon which I use to stir souls Poetry means sharing my gift of creativity To inspire, to purge, to reveal, to weave A tapestry of deeply felt emotions To lift the veil concealing my true essence Poetry means tossing my imagination in the air Letting it take flight like the bald eagle To wonderfully moonlit, or even dark, places To discover unforeseen epiphanies Poetry On Poetry Muse Poetry Contest Sponsored by Beata Agustin Date submitted: 04/25/2022 What Does Poetry Mean To You Poetry Contest/Winner(1st Place) Sponsored by Alexis Y.* Date written and posted: 10/24/2016
