Melani Udaeta Poet Lento

Poetry Is Not

Poetry is not a repeating phrase
totally limiting your unlimited mind,
Soullessly following another’s rules
knowingly pushing your thoughts aside;

Celebrate what’s inside of you 
extrapolate your soul’s unique dance;
Elevate that inner rhythm 
create your own perfect cadence.
