Rubjana Nika-What is Poetry?

Poetry
is not invention,
but thought put into verse,
it is feeling
beautifully said,
reality made diverse.
Poetry,
a long road,
so long no end is seen,
it reigns in mind and heart,
like a river flowing clean,
that pours without regret,
its flow forever set.
Poetry
speaks in verses,
speaks with words of sensitivity,
it is the poet’s inner world,
unfolded without any
secrecy.
Poetry in every letter,
drop of honey,
drop of dew,
reflects the poet’s spirit,
and shelters it
in the mystery of a waterfall’s hue.
