What is Poetry?--By Sara R. Vogler--United States

What is Poetry?

poetry,
the lines i write,
will be written in books,
covered by newspapers and fairy dust.

poetry,
the songs i hum to,
and the songs i yearn for,
will be the melody on a palm of a little kid.

writing is for dreamers,
and dreaming is what i do best.

about rainbows, shiny shoes, and dark lit cafes,
the boy in the band who smiles so bright,
you can see his molars,
from window washer on the top of the chrysler building.
