What contribution does poetry make to life in general?
Who am I?
by Jellz Fisher
Poets
Are birthed in ink
Raised in literacy
Educated by life
Sustained by words
Fed by inspiration
Encouraged by blankness
Moved by creativity
Lifted by impulse
Gifted by heartbeat
Propelled by braveness
Silenced by no-one
*Inspired by a phrase in CS Scotkins poem Doubt
poetry is sunshine ,food and medicine to the soul
