Poetry is a canvas,
Painted with words,
Opening scenes
Landscapes of the mind,
Portraits of the soul,
Miniatures of life.
Poetry is a ship,
Leading one away from the
Self to another place.
Poetry is a sheet of music,
Directing the singing
Chorus of the
Heart.
Poetry is an exploration
Into the mind of men.
It is ancient,
And young,
Structured and
Free.
Poetry is what the
Poet makes of
It.

lazing along a winding river.
Some poetry is a sliver
of jagged emotions splattered
