Why I Write Poetry - What's the Use

I have to admit that I'm not quite sure Why I write poetry --Just what is the lure But here's a stumbling stab at an explanation An attempt to plumb the fascination: To capture a moment, a feeling, a scene In a magical form, pure and pristine Be it a snowfall, a cloudburst or kiss The thrill of getting it right is one not to miss So there it is: It's exciting! It's a thrill! Comparable to that of an adventurer who will Climb Mount Everest 'just because it's there' Or venture deep into the jungle on a friend's dare Because there's an adrenaline rush, a feeling quite giddy "Hurray! I've created something romantic, or uniquely witty." So, is there something wrong with that? Something amiss? Au contraire! To deny oneself the pleasure would be a great pity!
