Words of Life - A Trifold Haiku of Life Told True


(Written upon request of Mad Kane’s prompt on “poems on poetry” or “poems on writing.”)




Words of Life –
A Trifold Haiku of Life Told True



What is poetry?
Images, metaphors, words
Or a work of art?

Hearts poured on parchment,
Lives shared, through spirits expressed.
Never-ending truth.

What is poetry?
Untaught, but experienced.
Poetry is life.
