What is poetry more than words
Thought into existence by a writer.
What is life than a mystery unspurred
No explanation seeming any righter.
What is death than sad feelings blurred
Friends’ burdens becoming not lighter.
What is love than adoration preferred
A bond constantly growing ever tighter.
What is pain than good feelings deterred
Emotions never growing any brighter.
Poetry is so much more words
Reflecting emotions felt by a writer.
Thanks! In this poem, I was really trying to convey the message that poetry has so much more meaning than just being words on a sheet of paper or website. A poem reflects the passion and true identity of its author. I tried to make most stanzas sound like understatements, as I did to the first stanza, asking what the significance is of poetry. But everything flips at the end, revealing the hidden truth.
