Poetry

so for world lit. we had to write 2 poems about 2 sides of the same topic so i wrote mine about the beauty and horror of poetry. here they are:
Let it FREE!
Emotion. let it free to breathe
Write It! Imaging freedom to love
Hope for things unseen. Let it Loose!
Write It! Discover its graceful
Beauty and wondrous mystery.
Express a multitude of thouhgts
Write It! Metaphors, similes,
Personification. Imagine!
What beautiful words, Poetry.
Write It!

The Weight of it All
Words, Words, Words! Overflowing my mind!
What do they mean? Who cares? Over It!
All these words -- overdose of nonsense
Just Say It! Plain and simple. Why not
Leave it plain and simple. Don't say
Poetry. The weight of all those
Darn emotions and ideas. Fills
My mind -- taking control -- begins
Crushing my soul under its weight.
I'm So Over It!

feel free to tell me what you think.
