Remind me, What is Poetry?

By Michelle P

 

Poetry is a form

Of expression.

It starts deep

Within.

Poetry looks like

Everything around

You.

It’s from the

Ground to the sky.

Its sound

Reminds me when

A single person yells

Inside of a silent room.

Its taste

Reminds me of

Sweat and tears

Dripping from my eyes.

Its smell

Reminds me of

Fear.

Fear when a dog barks,

When someone is approaching

Your house in the dark.

Poetry is an escape, yet

Its feeling

Reminds me

That the world is

Real.
