Essense of poetry

Poetry is simple emotion
as it effervesces from anyone
from a poet to a reader
though not all.

Some of my poems have been graded as
GEMS
by a poet yet
another says its crap ..

The poem should tinge the heart of a reader
if the reader cries
reading ones poetry
the poet deserves a credit for his creativity ..

All poetry need not be personal ,
but mostly all poems have a seed/grain
down within ones own soul
deep enough'

What is poetry after all it's emotion
in slower motion
like a Funeral March
at a Royal cremation
very few experience it

So poetry is just a heart beat of a poet
the pulse has to be given by the reader
you are the one to say
whether I am a poet or else!

you made some valid points here. Poetry is the seed of emotion from the poet. The reader determines if it falls to fertile ground or not. ~ Gee.
