Poetry
People always ask me what I would be if I could grow up and do anything. I think my
answer surprises most people. I’d be a writer, a lyricist, a master of the English
language… a poet. A writer is an artist like any other- their mind is the canvas, their words
the paint. I would like to be able to do that; to color thoughts, to add sound to reason, and
give belief a voice. A good poet can shape his words to fit his meaning. He supplies them
with life, much like a ceramist who forms clay so well that it depicts his feelings. Poetry is
the subtle ability to change words to mean more than they do, to bend them to mirror the
life in you. The life in me.
