I like poetry
It is a nice way to write
Similes, Metaphors,
Alliteration, and Onomatopoeia.
I can write like that.
I like poetry.
Poetry is like a door that escapes
to your mind.
I like poetry.
Poetry makes my
mind write about itself
I like poetry
Poetry is the timeless
thing to tell that
this is good.
I like poetry
Poetry makes my mind go
Wow! and Pow!
It also makes my mind
Wham!
I like poetry.
I kinda like poetry. I think it’s cool, but I don’t like writing it.
It’s like a warm and cold breeze on a rainy day.
It’s like being in an empty room with furniture and chairs.
Poetry is peculiar and personal.
It’s like a big bang, kaboom, slap, clash in my face.
Poetry is weird, Poetry is weird
Poetry is weird and weird and weird and weird.
Poetry is cool but I don’t like to write it. Poetry is weird.
A lion roars lions listen
An inspirational poem is respected
same influence
A poem is like a proud lion
A poem gives the influence of a lion
poems rise and fall
giving influence to the people
Just like how animals listen to a lion
People rise for a poem
We all can rise for poetry.
I like poetry because
there are so many ways to make
poetry. Poetry is so cool its like
a car driving as if it had no engine
Poetry is a banana
being stepped on
Poetry is so fantastically funny
and it’s also super sigma
and my head hit the wall
BAM!

There is a woman knocking at my
window when the sky is grey
She has flowing hair of letters
and a heart of steel and gold
She’ll listen to your worries and
tell you “please say more.”
i hear her singing medleys of
emphasis and sound
Oh poetry
Oh poetry
I miss you when you’re not around
You hold my hand and trace
the letters of unlikely dream
Perhaps you’re just an image who
holds me in her grasp
But however I adore you when
you’re knocking at my glass.
They’re a tune that sticks to your brain or
A brief smile on a gloomy day
They are a perspective only they hold
The thoughts you didn’t know you felt
A feeling that doesn’t fade
Once you read them
you can’t let go
Poetry is expressive and free
An opportunity
to finally feel
Poetry is a river of words
Each flowing its separate ways
Some peaceful like lily pads
others rageful like floods
Each poem brings feelings to the brain
either you feel the author’s feelings
or you make your own
Poetry is like suggestions
Each one interpreted by the reader
Then processed to see if they agree
Poetry is like a river of words
You choose how it flows.
From the heart, it speaks
Ink, lead, pixels, whatever it can do.
found everywhere
the paper,
the screen,
the forever folds of flowers,
the amalgamation of wires,
the divine light,
the endless dark,
somewhere,
nowhere,
All tells a story.
if you listen just enough
With an all-seeing eye.
