Poetry; My Life

When I don't have time to write an entire story, I decide to write a poem. Sometimes I pretend I'm someone else and write a poem from that person's point of view. Sometimes when I'm angry, I write a poem about it. If I'm crazy happy, guess what? I write a poem about it! You get the idea, I LOVE POETRY! I love to read it, write it, memorize it, criticize it, tear it apart and suck the juice from, read about it, write about it (note I said 'about' as in reviews and such), and most of all BE IT. Poetry: a way to express yourself with it sounding artistic and romantic.  Poetry: something that can rhyme or not rhyme, make sense or not make sense. I personally like the ones that are more mystical and harder to understand. That way I can tear it apart and try to find all the little lessons, the pieces of advice, and the possible meaning of it. Poetry: a way to distract yourself and focus yourself, a piece of art. I must say I'm not a very good poet, but I like doing it, and when you like doing something you can, most of the time, do it well. After a lot of practice of course. Yes, poetry takes practice. It doesn't just come to you. You have to test and see what sounds the best, what feels the best, what other people enjoy the most. So that's a little of my insight on poetry. I hope you 'suck the juice' from this post. Enjoy!
