Poetry and Me

I love to write poetry,

As it gives me vent for my expressions.

And I believe it a more peaceful way

Than turning to aggression.

 

Of all the words that I could choose

I am in the main seat of control.

To show my thoughts and feelings, 

And exult the reader's soul.

 

And when I find my inspiration,

I ponder - what is my next direction?

And though I find it hard to do,

I strive to reach perfection.

 

Some poems can be worldly,

Some be on feelings or abstraction,

And when I finish one of mine,

I feel such great satisfaction.
