poetry is

Poetry is

A mish-mash of scattered words assembled into a cohesive formation allowed to march across the page to the beat of a different drummer and danced to by an errant passerby.

A smooth stirring of a simmering broth brought to a culinary conclusion leaving the mouth of the reader hanging agape.

A dark coated mystery skulking on the edges of each word stalking the unsuspecting reader

An hilarious visit to the loo

A venom-soaked rant raging about the ragged remorse of regret

A whispered toe tapping bed time story

A gathering of words in valiant attempt to assemble a cohesive thought capable of expressing the innermost feelings of a bewildered poet

The undefinable gift we call

POETRY
