Life Is Poetry

Many people tend to think that poetry is just a written form of art they think that poets are just simply romantic folks with sweet love songs flowing in their hearts. However, I who happen to be a poet am inclined to disagree for in my opinion, Ti's not just art because all of life is poetry. I happen to see poetry in every walk of life whether it be a happy or sad occasion I am just one who can write it all down for I am blessed with an active imagination. I see poetry in a man lying in bed dying soon from years of bad health I see poetry in a teenager's first kiss or when an infant takes it's first breath. When a woman and her children are hungry and poor or somewhere some poor lad's heart is breaking all that you see are the simple facts of life while I am looking at poetry in the making. There is a sad soul somewhere being disappointed there is a child at circus seeing it's first clown I tell you that there is poetry on every corner of this world and there is a poet somewhere writing it all down. There is poetry in every syllable of our laughter there is poetry in every tear that we cry there is poetry each time that a baby is born and there is poetry whenever we die. I do not believe that poetry is a way of life as someone once said to me poetry is just words and can not be life however, I believe that life is poetry. by Benjamin Macieo Davis ThePrinceofPoetry
