If It Wasn't For Poetry

If it wasn't for poetry, where would my creativity play? My ideas would curl up and die a slow death, my mind would melt away. The blue ink blood in my veins, would turn back to a bright red. If it wasn't for poetry, why would I want to live? Life and love is poetry, bringing fun to my readers is my goal.

It's a conduit to show our creativity to the world and once written its preserved for ever. I only discovered it about six years ago and have never looked back. Tom
