Poems are words in artful disguise,
They capture emotions and open our eyes;
Their rhythm and rhyme can make our hearts sing,
They can take us to places where we've never been.
Poems can be funny, sad, or profound,
They can tell a story or make a sound;
They can echo the beauty of nature and more,
Or express feelings we could never explore.
They can be long or short, simple or complex,
But they all have a way to make a connect;
With the reader or listener, they strike a chord,
And leave an imprint that cannot be ignored.
Poems are a window to the human soul,
They can help us heal and make us whole;
So let us treasure them and let our hearts roam,
For poems are the voice of love, hope, and home.
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race." -Dead Poets Society
I'm a 17 y/o (Started this when I was 15) just wanting to share some of my poetry with people other than my friends :]
(Also feel free to comment any tips and how I could improve on my writing!)
