Why I Write Poetry
Why, in the first place, do I write poetry?
Couldn't I simply write a song, or even a story?
Why not write a news article, maybe an informative essay?
Why not write a fairytale that could make someone's day?
Why not make my feelings known verbally?
Why not just tell others how I feel truly?
Why not try to speak out loud, maybe even try to sing?
Why not write a novel, just for the fun it could bring?
Why not simply write a simple and well known fan fiction?
Why not publish an encyclopedia with well-detailed sections?
Why should I write in the first place when I could just as well read?
Why write poetry? Which of it's elements do I actually like and need?
I write poetry, for it shows my feelings with ease,
I write poetry, for I can write whatever I please,
I write poetry, for when I do, I feel like I can rewrite history
All this and more, even—this all is why I love to write poetry.
