Poetry Is

Poetry is,
Not what I give.
Poetry is,
Not what I live. 
Poetry is, 
What it is.
Poetry is, 
What I think it is. 
Poetry is, 
What I’d rather. 
Poetry is, 
What I sit here and slather.
Poetry is, 
What I make matter. 
Poetry is,
The life I gather. 
Poetry is 
The sight I see,
Poetry is,
The light I must be. 
Poetry is,
The thing I seek. 
Poetry is,
The thing I must keep.
