What is Poetry
October 3, 2014
It is a thing of beauty
Makes one's mind strong
It cures pure boredom
And brings joy around
Through dashes and ding
Through failures and dreams
It makes one’s thoughts
Expand and seep
It is a key to the door
That your child is behind
Feed that poor soul
Its your creative mind

WoW this is so deep... I am letterly speechless :O I find it so beautiful the way you pictured poetry and what it means to everyone of us here. It is true poetry is a thing of beauty, it unberries all the hidden beauty and miracles around us that we don't even see. I just love the way poetry lets us dive into our thoughts and just be who we are and be creative, that is real freedom ^_^ Thanks a lot for sharing this and by the way I wrote a poem about Poetry too called "Trip to a Poem" you should read it I think you might like it ;) Keep it up you're so talented. 5 Stars of course :D
My english teacher compared our 'inner child' as our creative mind, the raw person you are, if you may.
