Poetry Is.

Poetry is a purification ritual.

Like water focused on your crown

Chakra

Pouring out from the source of inspiration

Poetry Is.

It wears its tattered cloths with the pride of weaving strong canvas with the flax of hemp and dye from festivals of color.

Poetry Is.

The poet needs no reason to write other than they feel like they visited an old friend from way back and have the lightning of emotion charged in their soul.

Poetry rises up like a firedove daring to dream

What If?

A voice on paper

A tongue wafting out from the aisles of a local book store

Poetry Is.

And it will continue to be.
