Poetry


Boy am I fascinated with this literature genre
Expressing ideas and feelings in a compact manner
Evoking senses through language used to appeal 
Hungry readers delve into my words like a meal

Beauty radiates from each line and stanza
Magnificence emits from its simplistic structure 
My mind gives birth to an authentic design
On paper I record, like a scribe divine

Filled with devices I flaunt my poetic license 
Breaking the rules of language while adding my spices
Flavouring my creation with much needed prosody
Restructuring each line as it pleases me

Composing on scores, building a symphony of imagery
Of the heart and the mind, I ignite my poetry
To construct stories of this telling nature
Is why I am fascinated with this literature genre

  1. Poetry is an art of writing that I have been developing a deeper love for over the past couple of sessions. I knew it exist and yes I would have read it in books before, but never did I think of it in the simple musical and recital rhymes i say daily with my kids at school. Or even in my favourite music I listen to on a daily basis. My new truth, poetry is everywhere. My struggle with writing of poems is slowly drifting away. As I practice expression of my feelings and thoughts by way of writing poetry I share similar sentiments. My favourite capture from this piece is stanza 2 line 2; "magnificence emits from it's simplicity structure". Yes I see something so beautiful represented in plain sight.
