Mere words cannot express
the sentiments of an individual
nor the innate ideas in his mind
words have to formulate meaning
that shall inform and excite feelings.


Poetry is kind of formulated phrase
with words that depicts emotions
of various expressions of feelings
or thoughts on human existence
that illuminates life's finite values.


Poems are inscribe as artistic expression
about the many faces of our life's stages
which are candidly created by persons
who possess instinctive sentiments
through poems that make a poet.
