Question:I wrote this 'intro' poem for this folder I'm making.... obviously no Keats!!
Let me know what you think please...

Poetry in Motion

Poetry in motion, life’s essence on a page
Helping free the depth of being, release life from its cage
A masterpiece in progress, it’s never quite complete
To really finish poetry is quite a daunting feat
Momentum takes us forward, momentum of the world
The poetry of life is never-ending so I’m told
It lacks direction, structure, theme; it’s written by us all
But one who doubts the words of life is simply but a fool
Poetry in motion, a lifetime’s worth of birth
I put before you on this sheet a story of the earth
Words turned into sentences, and sentence into verse
The story keeps on moving, an unsubsiding thirst
The blankness of the canvass which can never be reclaimed
The ink began to drip, expression never would be tamed
Life and its reflection is there for all to see
Poetry in motion is what we come to be

I like it because poems are words that come from us to express how we feel and that's what yours says.

pretty cool. i cant write poems so you are already ahead of me and its a good one

Sorry, but I would title this "Poetry Stalled". You exhibit a nice passion and enthusiasm but use a lot of cliches. Challenge yourself to take each line and restate with words original and unique. Use the poetic devices available to accomplish this intro. This to me is but a rought first draft. Keep at it.
