Poetry: Poetry is . . .

by Stephen Roberts

Created on: October 12, 2008

Poetry is magnifying the world

through the lens of a word,

thought the mouthpiece of a throught,

through the philosophy of a stream.

It's the essence of truth,

the wish to say everything we cannot;

but strive to.

It's the purpose, you can't describe

the painting, you can only feel

the meaning which remains hidden

even to that of the poet.

It's a moment,

it's a shape,

it's a gasp,

and it's gone.
