Reviesed Moday Muses post

 Revised Monday Muses Response

           I wrote this poem because of what poetry means to me.  I love to write poetry!  Poetry is a vehicle that enables me to express all that inspires me.  As a singer, people often think about how poetry can be like a song.  However, my love for singing is what inspires me to write poetry.  For example: I always think of a sufficient rhythm and beat for a poem as I would for a song.  This poem reflects my intimate connection with poetry, and what it means to me.         

Poems are like magic.

Your thoughts flow freely,

Like the water of a calm ocean


Or that of an angry sea.

Rhythm and style

Connect to paint a picture.

Emotions and thoughts,

Flooding your mind

Like waves that hit

Tiny,

Little shells.

Poems can be elating,

Gloomy,

Scary

Or infuriating.

But whether you think it or not,

Poems are all

 

Magical.
