What Is Poetry

Webster’s definition is: “literary art,”
a magnification from the heart,
where creativity can grow,
ideas and emotions flow,
a canvas for the written word,
a language where one’s thoughts are heard.

Rhyme or free verse will unfold,
how memories and dreams are told,
with self definition the writer brings
feelings and views on limitless things.
Unwilling to be too defined
it is each authors’ state of  mind

It is exciting to see the replenishment of new poetry here everyday when I log on. I enjoy the diverse poetry so I am never bored by most of what I read. I am happy to have read your poetry this morning Liz. I hope that you might be able to find the time to read some of the other poetry here also. Love, Carol
