Poem – Poetry is…

Poetry is a lover

Coming in through the window 

You keep ajar at night

Poetry is a friend

Who stays up late at night

Talking for hours about nothing

Poetry is a pet

Letting you rub its belly

And giving it treats

Poetry is a grandma

Who has wisdom to share

And warm embraces when you meet

Poetry is a stranger at the door

Trying to persuade you 

To buy something that you may not want

Poetry is a child

Who needs comfort

From a scraped knee

Poetry is a teacher

Who just wants her students 

To truly succeed

Poetry is life

In everything that you see

For poems can be anything to me
