Poetry

what is poetry and what is it not
what is it you will take from the table
and what exactly have you ever brought

maybe fact or fiction, truth or fable
maybe you could try to write from your soul
but only if you’re willing and able

will you try and help others, what’s your goal
could you ever share the poetry soup
or will you simply just fill your own bowl

Excellent poem and message Mark. I like endings like you did above, I try to do the same style with some of my poems.

Poetry can be a very personal task, but when shared it can bring readers to new realms of discovery. Poets should encourage one another as you suggest. I like what you offer in these lines.
