How To Write a Poem

How to write a poem. "Oh,no"! you think She is going to tell us about all this rhyming nonsense No one cares about this Who cares if it's your feelings put down forever? Who cares what ex wronged you? Or how your father was a raging alcoholic. It doesn't matter, right? WRONG! You couldn't be more wrong. Because that is not how you write a poem. It's not just about your feelings But about your heart. It not about your struggles or hardships It's about your triumphs and how you conquer them. Poetry is an expression A way to tell people how you think Poetry spreads inspiration It instills confidence in though who might not have it It gives comfort to those who have no support It gives security to those who have no one to turn to Poetry is therapeutic Poetry is healing Poetry is humorous Good for a laugh when you need it A pick-me-up when you're feeling down. Poetry is a lifestyle. A way to communicate to the world in a very intimate way Poetry is Funny Sexy Sensual Depressing Awe-Inspiring Inspirational Amazing And when you pour out your soul? That is how you write a poem!

I like this, poetry does not have a pure definition, it is what you want it to be!
