My 3 Poems

1) What is ________?

Poetry is emotion
and feelings.
Poetry is the way
you see something--
like your perspective.

Poetry is all
of your thoughts.
It's what you think of
while you're writing--
any feeling: love or hate.

Poetry is what
pops into your head
at the moment.
It can be anything
you want.

Poetry is symbols
mixed together
to make writing.
It's what you visualize
when you think of something.


2) What happens to ________?

What happens to thoughts that are forgotten?

Do they disappear like clouds?
Do they come back and
go away like the sun?
Do they have their own
lives, like angels?
Do they ever come
back to visit you?

Maybe they have wings
and fly to the afterlife.
Or do they die and
lay somewhere lifelessly?


3) Artwork Poem

She almost smiles
in a nonexistent world
full of mountains
and mist
where no one lives.
It's just her.

She's mysterious.
As she looks at the painter
her clothes fade into the
darkness where she's sitting.
The mountains go on forever,
disappearing into mist.

She's calm.
Her hands rest in her lap,
in an unknown world.
She doesn't know
anywhere else
than this mysterious place.
