What is Poetry? And what it means to me..To me it is a way to express
my deep emotional feelings and thoughts. A therapeutic way of letting
harsh feelings out. It can also be of creative nature like writing about
the beauty of Autumn. Words do not always have to rhyme but should have
a nice smooth flow. Words written from the heart and soul of a person
always seem the best to me. Poems that can spark a deep emotion in a
person, where they feel the pain or hurt them selves and it brings a
tear to their eyes, then I think that is a poem well written.

You don't need to know a sonnet from a bonnet to write poetry. Just
write what flows from your inner being and you will be surprised at your
ability to write..

Remember it helps to use descriptive words where your thoughts can be
imagined in the minds of the reader.
Sorta, of like it was a dark dreary fog misted day when the love of my
life walked out of my life, leaving me with a gut wrenching pain in my
heart..

 Well, this is my thoughts on What is Poetry.
 
The White Dove of the Desert
(San Xavier Mission)
The Desert
The HomeLand of My Past
Memories seen through the Eyes
Of a Child
Sorrow seen through the Eyes
Of a Adult
Within the Walls of The Mission
With a Tear Stained Face
I said my Last Goodbyes
To the Play Ground of My Youth
To my Daddy's Ashes in the Wind
To a Fallen Hero's Deaf Ears
To a mother and sister
May God let them finally
Find Peace
One lone Candle
Lit In Remembance
One final Goodbye
To the Home of my Youth
To memories of my past
Lifes and times do not last
Beauty of the desert land
Where family members ashes
Are scattered in the hot burning Sand
