Why I Love Writing Poetry

Why I Love Writing Poetry? Did I mean why I love writing poems? Nevertheless, I love writing poems or poetry: To simply have fun, make others happy, Inspire and defend others; to fan the flames Of fairness, and to seek justice, fairness for the weak, The innocents, the underprivileged, and the sick; I can go on and on until I lose consciousness. I love expressing myself with elegance and neatness. Ordinary jerks always make fun of the Poets, that's not new; And the Poets know darn well how to take care of them too. Poets have thick skin; they are Heroes without fears. They struggle, fight, write, raise hell and wipe their tears. Sorry, if I am going astray, that's what I do best, Sometimes, like any human being, I like to make a mess. That's why I love writing essays, poems or poetry: To simply have fun, and to make others happy. At the same time, I want others to criticize, and castigate. I make my own decisions, and can determine my own fate. Poets have thick skin, and by nature have no fears. Please swallow your frown, your smile, and wipe your tears.
