Poetry is...

the space where life meets imagination without the lengthiness of a full novel

where Shakespeare meets Virgil

neo-soul meets rap

the gap between old traditional and open era modern thought

joining the spiritual beings with the random bodies

bringing you peace and joy where there once was chaos

masquerading as a ballet piece in jazz shoes

the never ending tale that began before the stone age

carving pockets of meaning out of hollowing vacuums

engraving theories and ideologies into square formulas

whimsical quirky smiles drawn out of pain

dark anguish and secrecy brought into the light

anxiety on the rocks coming into sandy beaches to meet lady bugs and butterflies

humming tunes of harmony and synchronization

poetry is… just words

simple words
