This is a poem i call "Poetry Hides" Hope you enjoy!


Poetry hides while you seek. ‘Ready or not, here I come’ you call out and poetry waits for you to find it.
Poetry hides in the cracks of the sidewalks. If you step on the crack you will break the spine of your poetry.
Poetry hides in the hearts of your enemies. To receive the words of poetry you must first make peace with the other side.
Poetry hides in the center of an unopened flower. You must care for it until it blooms.
Poetry hides in lies that you tell. To set your poem free you must always tell the truth.
Poetry hides within the shadows of the night. Lurking and waiting for the right time to jump out on you.
Poetry hides in your worst fears. You must face them, overcome them in order to find the beauty behind the fear.
Poetry hides in the most obvious places. It can be easy to find but poetry leaves it up to put all the words in all the right places.
Poetry hides in the days that you will grieve. You can weep all you want but sooner or later you will have to wipe the tears from your eyes so you can pick up your pencil to write.

            Poetry hides. Sometimes you won’t know where right away but when you find it, use it. Take advantage of its words and don’t let it go until you know you’re ready to set it free.
