Poetry

Is it the rhymed words?

Is it the story told?

 

I don't know

 

Is it a poem if others say it is?

Is it a poem if it makes them feel?

 

I don't know

 

Is it art, if I make the most mundane commute shine, ?

Is it art, if I make the death of a star seem trivial?

 

I might know

 

Maybe it is staring too long at something others barely see.

Maybe it is looking for the magic others discarded long ago.

 

Do I know?

Am I doing poetry?

 

Who cares.

 

I write because it frees my mind.

I write because I like to paint a scene.

 

I know.

 

I write because it is for myself.

But also for all of you.
