Oh how beautiful it is
To speak the dashing words of bliss
Oh yes poetry it is
A very rare kind of art
That only the pure in heart possesses.

When in emotions made ink,
My quill dips deep.
When with a passion laid sheet,
My quill dances on.
The result, not Doggerel, but of a certainty, POETRY.

A finely made weapon,
flowing from my heart, mouth, and pen
To war against words, thoughts, and beliefs
That seems too difficult to defeat with mere words.

Poetry is light, love & swords
Yes, it dissolves darkness, conveys love even through mere words.
A world without poetry is a world with incomplete records.
Poetry is a music that beats the sounds of thousand keyboards
Poetry is indisputably the password of unity, few things bind us with better cords

Poetry, its name, but with chemistry that fills.
Words are not enough to describe its uniqueness,
Neither are pens enough to design its capability.
Chameleon you can call it, cause it changes with words, sounds, expression yet one person.
Poetry, its name but with chemistry that fills.

From where the heart bases
With edges boundless to art basis
Senses and voices in pages,
So laced with the million needed fillings
Solace to a thousand many feelings

Gives voice to the voiceless
Even the dumb get to speak freely, boldly, and effortlessly.
Powerful enough to embody emotions
Just, impartial and unique.
You are a special literary work, Poetry!

Every poet has inspiration branches and idea trees
Deep rooted in the mind, spreading out with lots of messages
Words of our hearts beautifully written, we call poetry
Blended fruit juice of hope, love, and faith awaits you, all for free
Our words, a replica of our voice, what a gift it is!

Poetry is an intellectual sword that fights against darkness and wins light for the soul of man.
Poetry is an intellectual wind that brings ripples onto the surface of the waters of the heart of man.
Poetry brings calm into the waves of the mind of man in times of distress.
With the weapon of words; poetry dispels fear, shines light, destroys evil, builds love, gives comfort.
He that wields the weapon has the power to save life.

Through the art of expression,
The pen bleeds what the heart feels,
The outpour of emotions,
With lines and stanzas, a lot of stories are told,
Lives are touched.

And to what do we owe this
madness? O, tell me, little letters
of the alphabets, you are
beautiful, yet awaiting our
tongues to sing you into bloom.

She is the lens through which I see the world
She caresses my joy and embraces my pain
A page-our love garden. A paragraph-our chamber
Our tale is a scarce fairytale
Poetry and I forever entwined!
