They say Poetry

Is born of pain

And I couldn’t agree more

For what are wounds

But rich soil

For the seeds of poetic blossomings

And what are tears

But warm April showers

For the starved sproutlings

Of Poetry.

I like the background this has behind it. Good Job! Though every sentence has a conjunction. Makes the poem seem too simple and lacking in wording. Some readers may get confused and lose interest.
