Poetry

Many people make the (with all due respect) mistake of thinking that poetry is just words on a page. But the truth is, is that poetry is so much more than that. It is a symphony of colors, sounds, sights, and magic. It is a doorway to the heart of each human being that connects us all in a way nothing else in this universe can. It is each brushstroke of writing on a page that when all those brushstroke are put together it creates a beautiful painting of writing that we know as poetry. Poetry is beautiful, sorrowful, angry, funny, creative and so much more that expresses each human emotion into a magical poem that connects us all and connects to us all in different ways that touch our hearts. Poetry is magic.

I see poetry in every second of every day that passes by. I see poetry in the bees that buzz in the air, in a curly lock of a stranger's hair, I see it in every person. We don't need to talk or make eye contact, but it is inspiring how amazing it is to see poetry in each person. I see poetry in the way my chihuahua prances across the kitchen floor, the way my mother goes about the same routine of house chores each day without giving a single complaint. I see it in the way flowers grow in springtime. I see it in my writing. I see it in myself.
