A World Awaits

Who said

Poetry is limited

To a set number

Of subjects?

When

The opposite is

True.

In conveying

One's pain or joy

With others.

Otherwise

Poetry is

A dead mode

Of expression.

Doomed to die

A painful and ugly

Death of neglect.

To be viewed

By future generations

As a quaint

But boring way

Of expressing

Ourselves.

For poetry is

A fluid and dynamic

Flow of words

Which pulses

To the rhyme

Of one's heartbeat.

Only needing

To look around us

With the right mind set

To see the poetry

In everything.

there is poetry in everything ..i agree...

and it is especially fun to turn non-poetic things into poems...

the unexpected.

this is one of your best, so tight.

Thank you, Jacob, for your high praise of my poem and my improved writing ability.

[Peter H]

true some people think of poetry with a prejudice some even things its only used for rhyming some just place it in a generic category , poetry is within everything we do and everything we think poetry can be based on anything under the stars and in our fantasies poetry is sublime

[therisa]

Thank you, Peter, for your supportive words.

[Holly Mason]

everything has poetry ...love that concept
expression of emotion is a way of getting to know someone even if you have never and will never meet
blind dates should have to write a poem to each other before dinner...bet there would be a lot of empty seats*)
I just have to throw this in---quaint is a beautiful word
thank you for sharing fine lady

[therisa]

Your welcome, Holly. Hate to own a restaurant or a bar, if all blind dates were required to write a verse or two, before the date. As if quaint, it just felt right to me.
