why write poetry?

to write poetry is a way
to gauge
to remember
to express
to observe
to breathe
to describe
to elaborate
to imaginate
to keep in and out of mischief
to be present in oneself
to be present in ones environment
to be open and receptive
to be creative
to be still whilst making unheard inner noises haha!
to laugh at oneself
to play with words
to bend ones brain
to use time
to practice and enhance language
to make holding a pen enticing
to expand eccentrically
to create new colours
to wonder and be curious
to keep learning
to make opposites rhyme
to strengthen one's whimsical muscle
to gift someone
to shape ones voice
to traverse across the empty space
to feel gratitude
to remember
