Poetry is created from the soul, it feeds from your emotions and squeezes out every ounce of creativity from your delicate bones. It cannot be summed up or critiqued in a few short words. The only thing that matters is the connection that you, the writer, portray in your masterpiece. Poetry is that desire deep down in your heart. It latches on and unravels, planting its seeds into your veins. Throughout these veins, talent begins to flow. Let your imagination run wild, after all, it is your canvas. Words your paint, you my friend the artist. An artist filled with inspiration, ready to burst. Poetry can be written in any way shape or form. It has no mistakes, wrong answers or rules. It is solely a window to your perception, which I cannot define. So give it a try and see for yourself, only then will we ultimately understand poetry.
