What Does Poetry Mean To You

Poetry is the only way
I can use to convey
the emotions,
deep within my soul.

It is by reading and understanding
my poems,
that you can really
tell how I feel,
with or without a smile....

Well said Teddy, it is our selection of text and the way we set it down that can dramatically authorise a scene/mood and leave your reader pondering or wanting more...

You're right Anna-Marie!! Writing has a way of creating a sense of familiarity or mystery around it.... Thank you for enjoying my work!!! *^_^*
