What is poetry you ask? It's a fiery burning knife. When your heart and soul are dying, Poetry is life.
Author notes
It was one word too long, so I had to take out one of the most crucial words.
the last sentence is SUPPOSED to read "Poetry is my Life"... instead it's "Poetry is Life". This is so that it is 35 words... hopefully the judges will grant me the last word, but who knows.
and I think the rules said I had to include my quote in my notes? can't remember.
here it is again.
"Poetry is love, Poetry is hate, poetry is every single feeling you can ever relate.
What is poetry you ask? It's a fiery burning knife. When your heart and soul are dying, Poetry is life."

you know...personally I think it's better if you leave out the my in the last line, because I understand it "when you are unhappy and overwhelmed, it is then that poetry really lives and prospers". I think it makes for a better, stronger image.

yeah, I agree
I think you're right. but I have a habit of refusing to edit a poem. so Even though I'd prefer it to not have the word "my" in it, the original poem had "my", so I will just leave it at that.
but I agree.
not tomention, it makes it more of a concrete thing, Poetry is Life.... versus being my life only.
thanks for the comment.
