Origin and Meaning of Poetry

Where does my poetry come from? Mostly my life. Experiences as a child, a mother, a wife If any poet tells you, their poems form from a random thought Should you believe them? Probably not The only thing that comes from nowhere, simply is nothing All poems have a beginning, they all come from Something Wherever they originate though, from them readers glean Different life lessons as they discern what they do mean And that is what's fantastic Nothing is neater That the meanings are different for each and every reader
