Why We Do It

Poetry is our conversation, We don't always need a reply. We talk about the things in life Not needing a reason why. The good times and the happy times, Are the things we like to say. Memories from our childhood, Or our very first holiday. We talk about the dreams we have, The things we have yet to do. They might not mean anything to the reader, But they mean the world to you. As we all get older And we look back upon our life We will always have our memories, For the poems we have yet to write. Poetry legacy contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier
