Poetry is . . .

by Mykaela Onishi

The stories that stir up inside you that you need to just let go

The stories that leave you to think long and hard

Poetry is a gateway to escape the real world and go to someplace magical

Poetry can take you places never seen

The love through poetry keeps you wanting to read on

Poetry is the soothing pitter patter of rain against the window

Poetry, the way people can express themselves

Poetry sits inside you just waiting for you to build the courage and share

Sharing beautiful poetry,

is nothing to be afraid of….

The emotions that just NEED to be let out CAN be,

through poetry…..

It helps you through hardships, sadness, mixed emotions…..
