WHAT IS POETRY?
|
What is poetry |
|
Do you know |
|
Is it an art form |
|
In which you can show |
| |
|
What is poetry |
|
Do you know |
|
Is it a way of showing emotion |
|
So that your feelings will grow |
| |
|
What is poetry |
|
Do you know |
|
Is it a song |
|
That people are willing to show |
| |
|
What is poetry |
|
Do you know |
|
Is it done for fun |
|
So your imagination will grow |
| |
|
What is poetry |
|
Do you know |
|
Is it all the things above |
|
That we have shown |
| |
|
What is poetry |
|
Do you know |
|
Does it have a true meaning |
|
That we can show |

I DREAM
|
I sit at my window |
|
and stare down at the land. |
|
I dream of a beach |
|
and its golden soft sand. |
|
I dream of the breeze |
|
and its ocean smell. |
|
I dream of watching |
|
the ocean swell. |
|
I dream of it smoothing |
|
over like glass. |
|
I dream of the ocean |
|
when not a wave will go past. |
|
I dream of the ocean |
|
outside my room in my yard. |
|
Instead of the grass and the dirt |
|
and the ground that's so hard. |

WHERE AM I
|
I wish that you would talk to me, |
|
I wish that you would listen; |
|
I wish for how things used to be, |
|
I wish tears wouldn't make my eyes glisten. |
| |
|
Why can't you just look at me, |
|
Into the eyes that cried; |
|
Is it so hard for you to see, |
|
That you must run and hide? |
| |
|
Time is said to heal the pain, |
|
But I just don't believe; |
|
And since you've left me in the rain, |
|
I'm now alone to grieve. |
| |
|
And now when I look into the mirror I long to see, |
|
The person who I used to be who ran away from me. |

TIME
|
There is plenty of time some say, |
|
Though they do not know; |
|
But we have only so much time to stray, |
|
And time will live but we will go. |
| |
|
While we are here we are living things, |
|
We can smell, feel and touch; |
|
And as the days go on less time it brings, |
|
For having fun and such. |
| |
|
As time goes by, |
|
People wonder and pray; |
|
Sometimes they cry, |
|
And hope to wake the next day. |
| |
|
The truth is time is time, |
|
And we cannot blame it for any crime. |
