Before-word: Poetry has the unique ability to capture and reflect the creative nature of our souls; and, to evoke authentic expressions of one’s self, culture, norms or mores. In this tribute piece to World Poetry Day 2021, I personified poetry as the embodiment of my being.

i am POETRY

Embodiment of rhythms and rhymes
Metaphorical language of experiences
Fluidity of motion
Litany of expression
Refrain

Birthed in beat of heart
Punctuated in emotions
Evolved in essence of sensuality
Transformed in clarity of thought
Lyrically surrendered

i am POETRY
