Poetry is.........

Poetry is.........

Poetry is sometimes difficult 
to interpret and even more 
challenging to dissect.

You need steady hands,
a warm heart,
some even say a sense of humour,
but above all
one needs good eyes
to see all the angles, 
and the worst part of writing
poetry is that you can’t 
be afraid of the blood,
or the gaping veins.  

Now if you have all those pieces
together in one person, then
poetry is a thing of beauty
it’s akin to open heart surgery,
and some even say just as deadly.
