Ars Poetica

How I feel about poetry.

Poetry is dangerous 

It will keep you up all night

Reading the same line

Over and over again

Trying to see through

It like a glass window

To understand

Poetry is a million different 

Meanings in just a few 

Sentences

It can be the sunshine and 

Beautiful colors

To the dark holes and 

Lonely thoughts 

Poetry is New England

Different weather forever

Changing as you look outside.

Beautiful tribute to poetry! Even tho you are describing the words on the page, I'm also seeing that it's the interpretation that actually makes the message, so in fact you're kinda pondering your own mind, as well as the poetry that brings parts of it to light. The comparison to ever-changing New England weather is a sterling analogy! Love it!

Affirmative!
One person defined poetry as "its attempt to define."

Your poem was great and fun to read! Keep up the good work, Poetess. :)
