Why I Love Poetry

Genuinely!
I've not been the most frequent on this pen
But there are men and women, boys and girls 
That have used it to walk on the shores of emotions,
Showing conviction to inspire an evolution
Using Compiling lines that demand admiration
Making this art beautiful and thought provoking
Invoking sensations of humor, love, sorrow, inspiration 
They have gone the extra mile
Moving people and spreading innovations

Poets are philosophers 
Campaigners of a world controlled by the mind
Creators of nations where reasons and feelings are combined 
Inventors of spheres where dictions and connotations are aligned 
In the only art form that knows how: Poetry

It's a lubrication to our souls
A beeline route to the heart
It's array of imaginations obligate consciousness
With verses of heavenly adoration 
Poetry push motivation into dying bodies 
Like doctors healing patients on life support
Conveyed through comedy or romance, activism or insight
Just the right words in just the right ways turn poems into vitamins
nourishing our fading bodies with endless possibilities

By connecting ink to paper
Poets through poems 
Highlights the most extraordinary factors of life 
Into the most ordinary style possible
The raw use of vernacular makes this art spectacular
They're ideas without frontiers
Lines fused to mold our dreams into entities
Verses and imagery construct poems into precisely powerful printings 
That have touched so many lives
Having the greatest effect on me
And this is Phenomenal!
