What is poetry but harnessing the thing of grace that's most dear to us and crave most to embrace What is poetry but expressions of the heart when lovers suffer from being torn apart What is poetry but the voice of pain the undertaking that keeps you sane What is poetry but outright fascination born from godlike power of creation AP: Honorable Mention 2025 Submitted on April 1, 2025 for contest YOUR CHOICE H sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - Honorable Mention Posted on March 31, 2025

Beautifully written! Reminds me of something in read... was reading in Ephesians ch.4 about the gifts God gives. I looked up the word, "prophet" because I know many women in the Bible are described as such. One of the definitions in the original language was"poet".. it said, "because poets are believed to be under divine inspiration". So what is poetry? A gift of divine prophecy? Xoxo
