Poetry (Happy) Poem by Charlie Helms

Poetry, Ahh, Poetry.
My Relief from the world.
A way to express my ideas, views, and life.
Filled wit words, stanzas, emotion.
Very descriptive, like drawing a picture with words.
Like photography that tells the story of ones life.
Poetry can be happy, sad, long, or short.
It's an anti-drug, an anti-cut.
It helps overcome heartbreak,
and shows your feelings for others.
It brings out the best in some,
The worst in others, and
The sorrow in many.
Some people can't write poems,
they don't have the talent.
Love and Sorrow are most expressed by poetry.
There are poems about Death,
Poems about Life,
Poems even about loved ones and what they've done.
I love writing poems, but most of mine are dark.
Others just write happy, light, poems.
I feel we all have a poet inside,
but some of us can't form the words.
Poetry can help you through anything.
It's like talking to someone,
but writing you speech down.
This is Poetry, This is relief.
