What is Poetry?
Published by GHC • Oct 17th, 2009 • Category: Poetryby Ginger, age 12
A poem is a story,
words flowing as a song,
it is a description,
as a rhythm with words,
like horses’ hooves prancing,
or their manes flowing as they run.
Horses in my poems
you would think that they belong.
In our little poems,
our stories with a song,
hooves prancing,
gives us rhythm,
the mane flowing,
gives us song.
Every time I read my poem,
I think of the swaying rhythm,
of a canter,
or a short choppy little thought,
like a trot,
and a beautiful wild poem,
with amazing rhythm gallops on and on.
Beautiful! *huge applause* very short, and very sweet, and some really, really good poetry! Awesome, round of applause to you, and keep writing!

Champion work! I loved it! I like how you compare trotting with a short, choppy, little thought. This really gives me a differant perspective of when I write poetry. Wanderful job, Ginger.

I love it! Brilliant and it has a nice rythmn to it :-) lol. Great job Ginger! Riding a horse is just like poetry. You did a great job describing poetry I loved it and it is brilliant! :-)
That was a lovely poem! Very well described and kind of ironic that you wrote a poem about what a poem is! LOL! Love it!
beautiful!!! :) i love it!
Cool! Sweet poem! Totally luv it! Five stars!
This has got to be the best description ever for a poem, what a creative way to think of it :) That’s a very clever way to write poetry and include horses. Nickers and whinnies for you! You write beautifully, don’t ever believe otherwise.
Wow!!! Reminds me of part of a poem Emily Dickinson wrote, “No coursers like a page of prancing poetry”. Lovely poem Ginger!!!
Love it Ginger!!
