This week’s poem is titled Poetry.
Hi, my name is poetry
Basically I consist of simple words with Deep meaning.
At least, that’s what I am meant to be made of.
Yet you make me so complex, impose my worth.
Yes, you wanna-be poets, take me
And turn me into a hocus- pocus – Then I lose focus.
I am not made and meant to be so difficult
Only a few will understand me
But I am meant to heal the wounded And comfort the lonely.
In me there is Purity
Oh in me there is Emotion
Taken down to be Reality.
Yet no perfection.
Oh , I beg you!
Omit in me big words with long definitions.
Inject in me honesty, clarity and simplicity.
Poetry is my name
And
Inspiration is my game.
