I Am Poetry

I Am Poetry My pen brings light to a dark and lonely world. It can also cause tears for all the boys and girls. My words make people laugh and reach for the stars. They can also describe a flower or your very first car. I was there in your pocket, on the way home from school. I was scribbled on a note, a very powerful tool. I put a smile on your face, when I talked about old times. My words told every story, with precision and rhyme. I can lift you up and make you feel strong. I can also cut you down and say you don’t belong. I can make your Father happy and make your Mother cry. I can find your darkest place, without having to try. I was there in your hand when your feelings were told. I can make you feel young or I can make you feel old. I can be shared with the world through a computer modem. I am Poetry, I’m in the soul of every poem.
