What does poetry mean to me?

About Poetry..

Poetry is sharing, exchange
A piece of you for a piece of me
Poetry is reflection
Of times that were, and times that could be

Poetry is expression
Of our joys and sorrows, comforts and wounds
Poetry is celebration
Of the colors of life, its sights and sounds

Poetry is read, thought, written and heard
Poetry flows like a stream, logical or absurd

Poetry is not only for a select few
Poetry is for me, poetry is for you

As you walk through life, eat, see, love and sing,
Poetry surrounds you, every moment, in every thing.

Come join my hand today, try your hand at poetry
Let's peel off layers from our hearts, let's leave no mystery.
