Philosophy of Poetry

A poem should be read while in a fluster of emotional confusion.
A poem should be painted on every side walk, every coffee cup and paper napkin that floats by my path.
A poem should talk about every inch of emotion or aspect of life that causes your heart to beat even harder.
A poem should infiltrate that soothing moment in everyones life.
Once a poem is read out loud,
It should leave your skin crawling and make you feel like doing back flips.
A poem should bring people to their knees.
A poem is the only antidote to every open bleeding heart begging for mercy,
Some people know how to capture each graceful and disastrous moment with the tip of their pencil.
A poem is life, written, read and felt by everyone in the world.
Once its written you feel free of stress,
It's as if poetry wasn't poetry but therapy.
It was just another way to feel and love and ultimately be heard.
