as if I am on a roof,
the roof looks like

and I am so happy, and I love
and I am calm.

Poetry is the World to Me
Mikeyon
Poetry is the world to me
from writing metaphor to simile
even if it doesn’t make sense, it still be right
from writing to singing
it can still make your brain go ding-ding!
Poetry is a slam dunk
like how I think
before I dunk and get creative.
Poetry is the same thing,
think and then do it.
Poetry is a feast
because you have all of your poems to eat!

Poetry is a tree.
Poetry is peace,
or poetry is a person,
or poetry is a warm place,
or poetry is water for a soul, or
poetry is winter fire.

Poetry is mindfulness
like
a quiet room in your house
with your quiet friends
meditating, in your room:
Basketball is my poetry.
