I had to write this for my Grade 10 English Class so enjoy! :D

The Sacred Art of Poetry

 

Poetry is a sacred art that only a handful can appreciate,

The fulfilling story of magic that surrounds your inner thoughts,

As your insides warm with joy,

And your eyes tear of heartbreak.

 

The wishes and dreams of a young child fused within the words upon a blank paper,

As the words bloom to reality with the majestic breath of life,

Falling into the land opposite of despair,

In the warm hands of a loved one.

 

The intertwining of millions of colors as they flood to your brain,

Warming your heart with a warmth that sprouts,

From person to person as the story becomes contagious,

As the key unlocks a brand new world of the living.

 

Memories are created in ways of sorcery,

As Mother Nature’s sweet kiss brings you a new existence,

Vivid blankets of snow cover your window,

A new life of treasurous memories.

 

Sitting on the beach watching the sun falling through the blue infinite sea,

As the somber skies turn to luminous stars that shine brightly,

All these wonders on a single page that only a handful can see

The few that can appreciate the sacred art of poetry.

This is a very nice poem. I agree - poetry is a sacred art. Love the fourth stanza. :)
