What Is Poetry

By Dawne Zacharias

Poetry is an
ever evolving 
idea moving to
a new becoming

as the 
opening of a
cedar chest
enlivens the senses

it creates a new essence
ripped from its original author
it becomes a new poem
an open-ended adventure

"an open-ended" adventure. This is how I feel about each stroke of my pen, having no idea how Trixie my muse is going to "make me feel" or what she is determined to write.
