POETRY

No matter the definition that is given to poetry, expressing it from my own point of view, I feel poetry to be a collection of the emotions, feelings, sight and insight, innermost thought that a writer has within or outside him/her that is spilled out and written to ease oneself.. You check it out, what I feel is what I express, what I see is what I put down the way I see it and so on. That is it. More will be coming out in this blog friends about poems from the heart. Have a nice time.
