Pondering Poetry
Poetry is
one of those things
I like to do
and do often
Poetry is
one of those things
seizing my imagination
and never letting go
until it has had its say
Poetry is
something that starts
deep inside you
and doesn’t stop starting
until it has run its course
Poetry is
one of those things
helping you find your way
when you’re lost
and I would be lost without it
Poetry is
something that people tried
to live without
at points in history
only to discover
that poetry is who they were
Poetry is a blessing and a curse
and those possessed by it
have no choice but
to let it write itself
through them
Finally
poetry is not
the exclusive domain of poets
with special gifts.
Poetry is for anyone
who breathes air
too true don
that last stanza says it all
thank you

I’m breathing in
I’m breathing out
This poem doesn’t make me
want to shout
This poem makes me ponder:
what’s it all about?
Thanks, Don. Nice one.
