Why I Write Poetry
Because
Words on a newspaper
Wilt and die-
Waiting
To be blown outside
Like dusty
Houseflies
On a windowsill.

Poetry is something that comes naturally to me. When I write poems, I don't generally write them. Words often come into my mind like an incident might replay in your head years after it's happened. This often happens at night when I'm free from work and lying on the bed. I like to feel that by writing poetry I let go of the feelings and words stuck inside me that were taking up mental and emotional space.
