What Is Poetry, And Where In My Life Do I See It?

   What is poetry? Poetry is words strung together, that on their own would sound painfully ordinary, yet somehow when put together they sound beautiful. It is something that is rare for some people and absolutely necessary for others. It gives a different perspective, and sometimes helps to solve problems because of this. 

   In my life, I see poetry when I read, listen to music, or even when I look at something beautiful. Every single moment has a poem, or millions of poems, that go with it, and I try to come up with just one of them in my head. Even just speaking to people, when it is something meaningful, can be poetry. Honestly, in my opinion, anything can be poetry or can become poetry, if you're able to see it's potential. Sometimes, though, my head's too crowded to create poems from the things I see. At those times I can't see any poetry, whether it's straightforward or not.
