A prompt: poetry is.......
         "Word Painted Stories In Verse"


Hugs from the Universe is Nature's norm,
the yin and yang of Life told in lyric form.

Stories give meaning to all ages,
scripted on walls, skins, parchment pages.

Ancients continue through present time,
told and retold tales in free verse or rhyme.

Metaphoric stanzas written short or long,
embraces the hearts felt in many a song.

Muses visit and revisit the tips of their poet's pen,
word painted colorful images, time and then again.

Poetic forms vary, and style personify
as versions with the reader often identify.

         Poetry is renown
         when love is found
         and love lost.
         Unrequited love counts a cost.

         Poetry is shared
         when futures are compared,
         dreams mounted,
         and histories recounted.

         Poetry is Nature's way
         when seasons have a colorful say.
         Poetry is written as fables
         when sketching the lives of animals.

         Poetry is Life, Death, and all between
         what Universe gives; felt, heard, and seen.
