Poetry Itself

There is something about poetry
that loosens the soul
it evokes strong feelings
it never gets old

it is pure emotion
feelings that do not waver
bottled up inside
waiting for the right paper

bright and cheerful
gloomy and sad
loving and tender
hateful and mad

it doesnt matter
whatever the mood
a poem can be found
that will fit the groove

something happens
that you cannot see
when reading greatness
that thing called poetry
