A Poem on Poetry

A poem on poetry, how meta is that?

To write about writing, it seems a bit pat.

But poetry is more than just words on a page,

It's the feelings it stirs and the thoughts it engages.

It can make us feel joy or it can make us feel pain,

It can lift up our spirits or drive us insane.

It can tell us a story or it can be abstract,

It can be sweet as a lullaby or sharp as an attack.

Poetry can capture the essence of life,

It can cut through the noise and the daily strife.

It can express what we can't put into words,

It can be a refuge when life feels absurd.

So let us celebrate this art form divine,

Let us revel in the power of each clever line.

For poetry has a way of speaking to the soul,

And that is why it will always be our true goal.
