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!
