With watery blood or in colourful ink,
You paint in words what you think;
Of soaring spirits and moods that sink,
Wonderful tales you spin with poetry.
Explosive ideas, depressing thoughts you pen,
Risk ridicule, earn praise or provoke men,
Your quill changes to a mighty weapon,
When new worlds you create with poetry.
Inspire a generation or ruin your life,
Over a rocky path you walk, full of strife;
You toil, you struggle, it turns into a knife,
Sharp enough to cut veins, is poetry.
Misery, fervour, passion, vice is poetry;
Battle eternal of fire and ice is poetry.
