What is Poetry?

by Kristy Matsubara

Poetry is like, climbing to the top of Mount Everest,

Challenging in every way

To continue to strive and to reach your goals

Poetry is like, the sound of music

In a slow and majestic way

Relaxing, peaceful, and tranquil

Poetry is like, a tree moving gracefully

In a summers breeze

Calmly swaying its branches and leaves

Poetry is like, embracing your family

Happiness flowing within you

Poetry is like, a mother’s smile

Making everybody’s day, a brighter one

Poetry is like, creating a masterpiece

Creativity flowing from your pencil

To the paper

Poetry is like, revealing your true self

No more hiding who you really are,

Expressing yourself in many ways

Poetry,

Is like no other
