Poetic Expression
Poetry is the air that brings me life
A newly made poem is the light of the day
Creating a poem takes away my strife
Through poetry, power is in every word I say
Words said in poetry bloom like the flowers of May
No enlightenment can come about without poetic expression
With every poem made my soul rejoices and says hip hip hurray
So see here my dear my confession
I feel for poetry like the love a man feels for his wife
Poetic expression is like the magic of fay
The written word holds the power of a knife
Creating a poem is like how the artist molds his clay
Making poetry is like my soul is at play
Through my poetry is shown my compassion
With my written word expression I will always find my way
So see here my dear my confession
I express emotion on a page like a musician creates it with the notes of his fife
Each written prose as sweet as delicious parfait
Poetic inspiration is widespread and rife
Each word a different expression like the movements of ballet
There is no emotion poetry cannot convey
Neither is there tone nor sound poetic words can be music of strings or percussion
In poetry, there is no cliché
So see here my dear my confession
A poet feels for their poetry like a florist for her prized bouquet
I savor my poetic words like a sweet culinary confection
Every word that escapes my lips is thinly veiled emotion like the movement of a woman’s curvaceous hips in negligee
So see here my dear my confession
