WHAT MAKES POETRY

Total exploration
Needs a person
Idea
Courage to express
Sometimes confess
Theories throughout every story
Emotions unlock
The key being the mind
Sentences establishing narration
Concept in creation
Significance in the instance
Here and now principle
Flowing thereafter
Eyes awakening
Dreams never told
Fear by surprise
The need to emphasize
A Poet moment
Taking time
Step by step realize
You know now what makes Poetry
Collaboration of Poet’s strategy coming together in yesterday’s thoughts in tomorrow’s divine.
