An Unopened Book

What Is Poetry

The pain and joy.
The love and hate.
The happiness and sorrow.
Human emotion put to words and expression.
The ablity to write down on paper,
discribe a world only you can see.
To release feelings sent directly from,
your heart.
You are your own correspondent,
in your own life.
Reporting on your lifes hard trials.
Your triumphs and defeats.
The moments when you fall in love.
When love falls out of you.
To release your dreams into the great world.
Give others a chance to be,
part of your life.
