=======================================                            

                                Poetry is like reading a book

It can take you to a world beyond your imagination

It can create a world where everything is perfect.

Poetry is like dancing

It leaps and twirls yet it can tell a story

The farther along in the story you get the more complex it becomes.

Poetry is like singing

It can take you away from the worries of this world

With each note you float farther and farther away.

Poetry is like waking up every morning to the sunrise

Knowing that it’s a new day and that you could do something great

 That you could possible change the world someday.

Poetry is looking at the world through new eyes

Seeing things differently than you did before

Changing the way you think about things.

Poetry comes from within

It’s what you feel inside

It’s a way to be who you are

Without anybody telling you, you need to be somebody else.
