“Poetry is the new era of writing; as you can use four stanzas comprising a poem
that convey what it take a book to manifest,
and with the materialization of the internet and google
readers become bore with long drawn out
book endings conveyed in poetry referred to as shortcut
to enjoyment in reading!” _-

Those who create poetry
must not try
may not cry
as many writing books do
but poets must tell a 100 stories in 1 poem so to speak!
