Poetry is everything we see
It is living, and dying
It is simple words of beauty
It's controlled and defying

It's loving, it's hateful
It can make you laugh, or cry
It's exciting, it's completely dull
It's the truth, but still a lie

It's dreaming, and it's reality
It's the day before, and tomorrow
It's the lock, and it's the key
It's what you do, or don't know

It's what you feel, and hear
It's what is, or can be
It's what you like, or fear
That's what poetry is to me.

I am not reading the comments anymore, because I always end up laughing and the full impact of the poem abandons me. :P
