My Name Is Poetry

Hi my name is poetry
Not the toughest guy on the street
I am full of mindful phrases
Not the genre you rush to meet

My words are thought provoking
Of metaphors and rhyme
You could grow to like me
If you only had the time

I can bring new meaning
To any subject that you please
A self help journal of discovery
To make you feel at ease

I am the lyrical entertainer
With each stanza that I write
Prompting broad emotions
That are hidden in plain sight

Are you a poetry lover?
Would this genre be your choice
Listening to personal reflections
Expressed through another's voice

Trying to find in poetry
A beautiful work of art?
Whilst staring in the distance
Agonising over a prompt to start

Breaking down the barriers
Saying goodbye to faceless rhymes
Learning from the classics
And update to modern times

Identify the subject matter
A clear message you can portray
Turning your undeveloped thoughts
Into a masterpiece one day

Let poetry be your compass
To steer you on your way
Bringing culture to the masses
In your own individual way
