What is poetry?

Outpourings of emotions 

Or is it something else?

Can you solve this mystery?

Writers are funny beings

I don’t mean jolly, jovial

In their heads some things,

feel wrong and abnormal

They are doomed either way

If they share what they feel,

people have a lot to say

Life of a hamster’s wheel.

Creativity is a complex word

with it’s many nuances

Imagination I’ve heard,

Is reality on its haunches. 

Goings on in a writer’s mind

A thoroughfare of thoughts

Shibuya crossing of a kind

Thick Blood in thin veins clot.

If they share they are called out

If they don’t they are belittled

If they agree people doubt

If they don’t their views skittled.

Conjuring things out of thin air

A magician’s fete extraordinaire 

Comparing  them to writers, unfair

Making them fall into despair

Writers prose and poetry write

Penning down their creations

Uncaring of wrong or right.

Unmindful of expectations
