So here it begins:
Poetry talks when you need it and stays quiet when you don't.
Poetry is the holes in the fabric of the sweater.
Poetry is waking up one morning and knowing exactly what you want to do with your life.
Poetry is taking a word like 'snail' and making a five course meal with wine out of it.

Poetry is a place. It's where I put my heart and you pick it up to see. My triumphs and scars are engraved there. It is impossible for us to keep such things to ourselves and so we share.—Emily Burns

Poetry will live as long as mankind. Poetry is more feel than see. Poetry is one of the second elements of the food chain for moving on. ______________________________________________________________ "Poetry is the space where one’s soul sings in harmonic-rhythm with their heart“ - Robin Millstone Miller. http://www.poemhunter.com/robin-millstone-miller/ _______________________________________________ Poetry is one of life's many shadows- Poetry is to thought what dreams are to the subconcious mind. Poetry changes who you were. Poetry is withdrawl of emotional capital. Poetry is no more or less than you make of it. Poetry will still be there the morning after. Poetry can make you different.
______________________________________________________________ Poetry is a global temperature that’ll always surprise us. Poetry is an ice-cream melted slowly by the sun. Poetry is the lion tamer proudly teaching me to put my head in the lion’s mouth. Poetry is the lawyer I hired, telling me lies… and sometimes the truth. Poetry is a mistake charging one to reach for self perfection. Poetry is a clinic, where I often check my blood pressure and quietly listen to my heart. Poetry is the dream house, whence I get those unconditional kisses and hugs. -Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago

"Poetry is...
Beauty, reason, quiet, love, lust, passion, humility, valor, trust, honesty, loyalty,faith, completion, beginings, tidings, rememberance, forgiveness, anger, regret, embelishment, sorrow, betrayal, hope...
Nature, and being natural.
Religion, and being spiritual.
Industry, and its progression.
History, and its repition.
Emotion, and the sharing of those compelations.
All things and all things opposite those things."
-Jenniffer Jude Slachtovsky
