Ignorance of Poetry

The ignorant mind says poetry is boring,
Without even knowing,
A poets words come from the heart,
Hearing their inner voices as their flowing words start.
Poetry portrays personal experiences, conspiricies, hurts and joys
Poetry expresses thoughts, visions, ways of life, even personal strife.
Some poets rhyme just for fun, other poets tell a story as their minds wildly run.

Some pooets question ur mentality and make u ponder and think,
Hitting u hard and what u heard, u just can't disregard.

Poems can help ur mind
Its for u to seek the words and see what u find.

The ignorant mind says poetry is boring. 
That way of thinking must be changed and rearranged,
Because we are today with talented poets
As strong and beautiful lyrics flow.
So now we all know
Poetry is bliss, so please don't diss. 
For those that say poetry is boring,
Perhaps u have somerthing to tell.
Pick up ur pen, pencil, dictionary,
And pick up ur mind from the floor,
Look deep inside and explore
Wake up ur brain and be alive and strive to relish in the spoken word. 
Maybe u too are a poet and u didn't even know it!
