When you think of a poem

What is it you see?

Do you see Earth's wild

Animals running free

Or do you think passion

The darkness and fire

Or maybe tornadoes

Sweeping you higher

What about rainbows

Innocence and beauty

Possibly of fighting

Soldiers doing their duty

Do you think of rhythm

And words ever-flowing

And all of these lovely

Images I'm showing

Do you see order

All the lines in order

Or do you see chaos

The rules are "no border"

The answer is different

for all who will read this

And my answer's simply that

"poetry is bliss."

Wow, the last two lines kind of summarised the whole poem...
And well-done writing a non-depressing as well as a beautiful poem...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
