WHAT IS POETRY?

WHAT IS POETRY?

by Lovely Damsel

It is the mirror of my soul,

The reflection of my feelings;

The sweetest language of all,

That expresses my pleasures and sufferings.

It is the music of my heart,

That’s coming from inside;

Playing like a harp,

Singing the things that I can’t hide.

It is a product of my mind,

Sent by angels from above;

When my mood is so kind,

It makes me utter the words of love.

It is my friend and companion,

The child of my pen and paper;

The union of thought and emotion,

But what it really means, I wonder.
