POETRY

Poetry, a form of art so pure,

A means of expression that will endure.

It captures feelings, thoughts, and dreams,

With every word, it breaks out from the seams.

From Shakespeare to Frost,

Their words make our hearts embossed.

They tell the tales of love, loss, and life,

In every stanza, they cut like a knife.

Poetry speaks to the soul,

Reflecting on the human role.

It shows the beauty in the mundane,

And makes us understand life's pain.

With words that can heal or harm,

Poetry has its own charm.

It ignites the fire inside our hearts,

And makes us feel like we're a part.

It's a language that's universal,

Connecting people in its traversal.

Transcending borders, it's a bridge,

Carrying wisdom and insight like a fridge.

In a world that's full of noise,

Poetry gives us a newfound poise.

It helps us see the world with new eyes,

And fills us up with boundless surprise.

So let's embrace the power of poetry,

With all its beauty and prodigy.

Let's explore the depths of our soul,

And let poetry make us whole.

DAYDREAMING

We dream of people we've never met,

Or relive moments that we can't forget,

In daydreams, we create our own reality,

Shaping the world, with our own ontology.

For in dreams, we can be whoever we choose,

A brave knight, or a rock star that oozes,

Charisma and confidence, without a care,

And the crowd cheers on, in this world so fair.

Daydreams let us escape, from the mundane and routine,

And explore the unknown realms, of the things unseen,

For in imagination lies the strength to create,

A world that's different, and that feels so great.

So let your mind wander, and take you on a ride,

In daydreams, magic awaits on the other side,

For anything is possible, in this dreamland so rare,

Where the power of thought, is all that we need to dare.

A FEELING SO RARE

Love, a feeling so pure,

It makes our hearts flutter and endure.

It's the warmth that fills us inside,

When we're with the one we confide.

It's the way their touch makes us feel,

A sensation that's simply surreal.

Their voice, like music to our ears,

Driving away all our fears.

It's the little things they do,

That make us fall in love anew.

A glance, a smile, a gentle touch,

All of it means so much.

Love is patient and it is kind,

It's the bond that forever binds.

It's a journey we take together,

Through ups and downs, forever and ever.

Love is a precious thing,

It makes
