Hello Poetry Lovers
Recently there was a mini-competition on Instagram on the theme of “That’s Poetry”. Now, I see poetry in many things as I’m sure you do. It goes beyond the written word and structure and rhymes and that stressed thing, It can also be a very visual medium.

However, the competition organisers did not think so as I didn’t come anywhere. Although in fairness, another competitor could have simply put this over better than me. Anyway, this is my interpretation;
That’s Poetry

Anticipation on Christmas Eve
A child’s face lights up
Mother’s affection

A stranger’s Random kindness
Consideration

A cat’s purr
A hot meal cooked with love
Favourite song on the radio

Someone smiles
Weak sunlight after a lonely winter

Closing the door on a long day
Someone pleased to see you
A good cup of coffee

Water after a long thirst
Surely that’s poetry?
