How To Know Poetry
When I feel a sense of upmost profoundment,
I know it is poetry.
When my heart yearns for words of creation,
I know I've created some poetry.
When my words come flowing fourth following
excitement, joy, pain, or sorrow then and
only then do I know it is poetry.
Most of all, I know it is poetry, if my heart
burns with thoughts of needing more words and
when out of my heart comes the deep impression
of a warm feeling of surety.
