Poetry What Is It

<>
Poetry what is it? Some say an expression of the mind and heart. Others just words on a page expressing nothing. I say it moves a person to think about life's portrait. It's more than mind and heart. It's body and soul. It's Heaven and earth. It's all things great and untold. So, what is poetry? Everything you can imagine. Written for those of us without spirit. Given to those of us without a soul. Poetry is Love of Humanity.
