what’s a poem
but words looped
together,
some may rhyme
others
may not
but ultimately
all drawn
from the soul
aching thoughts
pensive moods
sheer mastery
of poetic prose.

Its always a good question Cher, what is poetry, and it is all those things you mentioned. Its the succinct way of expressing an idea, emotion or story….and we spend most of our lives playing with the form to get something we like and maybe others will like as well.
i never tire of trying to get it right.
