What Is Poetry

What is poetry?
My sister, my brother
My father, my mother
What is poetry?
My nieces, my nephews
My cousins, my best fews
What is poetry?

Poetry is the expression of many expressions
A woman fitted for many dresses
A man of muscle for many flexes
It’s how we talk
It’s how we live
It’s how we breathe
It’s how we give

You can say
You can do
You can be
Anything.
If you can see
Then let me 
Set ye 
Free
