Something about poetry

I used to write poetry, or try to, but I don't anymore because honestly most of it wasn't that good. It's relaxing to write it though, and it feels good to get something off your chest. No one has to read it, but you can still keep it to find a few years later when you've forgotten all about it. I prefer reading it, and I like ones that tell stories, like "The Highwayman." "Gunga Din" is a good one, too. And if music is poetry, which it pretty much is, then I like listening to poetry, too. I think that writing something or singing something is the most powerful way to get a message across, especially if it has to do with something controversial and if the lyrics are impactful.
