What's Your Poetry

A poem by Doris Arnett Gary

 


What’s your poetry? What makes you smile? What do
you live for? What makes you tick?

Is it your girl, your guy? Is it your mom or your dad?
Is it
your drawing, your video game, your latest dance move?
Is it the sunshine, is it the moon? Is it flowers, or
rain, or
the snow in December?

What’s your poetry? What makes you smile? What is
your passion? What makes you move?

Is it your favorite song? Is it a Saturday afternoon?
Is it
your best friend or the poem you wrote last summer?

Your thoughts are yours alone, that goes for your
feelings
too! Your words belong to you and the sounds that you
hear when you read your words enter differently into
your heart than they do in mine.

What’s your poetry? What makes you smile? What
makes you see what you see? What makes you feel?
