THE MAGIC OF POETRY

I
am frequently asked:
"Why do you waste your
time reading, writing,
and quoting poetry?"
The answer I cannot
fully explain nor do I
care to spend time,
BUT
will try anyway.
POETRY IS ...
A trip to a world of magic
and make belief.
POERTY IS ...
gazing from a mountain
top watching the
eagles fly in their beauty.
POERTY IS ...
the arousal of emotions
long forgotten but now renewed.
POETRY IS...
explaining in words what
you have been reluctant to say.
POETRY IS ...
the timeless beat of the heart
to dance in sync with another.
POETRY IS ...
the soul's way of making
friends and magical relationships.
POETRY IS ...
a revelation of a self
I have not known...but now do.
POETRY IS ...
a magical gift from a MUSE
that is adventuresome.
POETRY IS ...
bringing the universe
and the heart and soul
together in beauty.
YES!
Poetry is magical beyond words
but meet me at the Kissing Place
and we'll poem each other more.
