i like peotry because
of how it can be interpreted in any way
and how it has rules but is invited
to dance and sing and put on a play
how it can be dramatic or solemn
tugging on heartstrings played like a harp
and how it is so free
allowing expression to form
in ways we cannot see
how it can be whispered
and yet sound like rolling thunder
of toungs of cloud
and how it can taste like the best things
pinpricking tastebuds with pure bliss
as it slips in to the world
with melodic beats
how it can be so intamite
and describe in finite sentences
the most obscure feelings
of fear and anguish and toil and joy
how it twists and weaves
in defying pleats
maturing and growing
to every colour in the rainbow
painting the sky with similies and metaphors
a ballet of sibilance and personification
tiptoeing across the stage
untill the breath runs out
