What is Poetry?

Poetry is a mystery
How do you take form poetry?
What gives you shape?
How do you express yourself?

Poetry is a gift
Doesn't need to be wrapped
Nor placed in an envelope
For your words are rich
Richer than the treasures of the world.

Poetry is bliss
Expressing one's soul
Always in a state of Nirvana
Soothing the heart with joy.

Poetry is healing
A form of recovery
That helps us get over
Life's troubles and woes.

Poetry is limitless
For it has many forms
It's born everyday
From the writers
That give it life.
