A True Love

Poetry is more than the written word, it is more than the language of love. Poetry is not just the expression of emotions, it is the language of elicited emotion. It is not just a method by which we express our emotions or our devotion, it is a language by which others receive it and experience it. High-brow people will tell you that a well-written poem has met a criteria for grammar, use of metaphor, punctuation and even iambic pentameter. I say to you that a well-written poem is the one that stirs your emotions good or bad and a great one is one that stirs your soul. if you have ever read something that has actually made you laugh or cry, then that was well written. I hope that what you find inside stirs in you, because everything within, I wrote because of her, to stir her, like all that she stirred in me.
