A poem should be a snapshot
A window into a single moment in time
That stops you in your tracks
And fills your mind with emotion
A poem should be something magical
While being nothing special
Complex
Yet simple
A poem should be raw and real
As if it was ripped right out of you
Flowing from your heart to the page
In meer seconds
A poem should be a blooming wildflower
Sprouting everywhere
In vivid colors
In vivid pictures
A poem should be you
All of you written on a page
Your self-portrait
Your life
