I never knew how much I personally liked poetry until I had to recite in front of a class. I was nervous at first but, realized the beauty of poetry as the words was placed together on paper. I created a story in a few lines or stanzas. Poetry is the heart of the individual spoking words that are yet to be formed or verbalized by the individual such as myself. Poetry allows the individual to express themselves in a way that displays passion, through different emotions. A way to verbalize what is on the mind without misunderstanding of what has been said. Poetry is not just about love but a freedom to communicate the views and display the inner ability of the minds. It allows you to be free yet true to self. Poetry allows the individual to metaphorically use words to describe a different meaning.
Poetry is about breaking apart what can be learned on the short end and help those to understand what they read on the front end. When reading poetry don’t be afraid to interpret the poem as you the individual may see fit. Poetry helps with creativity and thought in realizing your words matter to another individual. Poetry captivates the person much the same as a book does. Poetry is a conversation piece that is talked about but, gathers those around to go deep within themselves to unearth what was truly hidden within. Poetry can be thought provoking or laughter depending on the individual. Poetry does not have a format on how it should be written. It’s just the freedom to create what your mind has to say through imagery.
I want to be able to teach people how to love freely using poetry to tap into their creative side to envision only what they can see for themselves. To take their emotions and not be afraid to express themselves with the use of art. To help people to understand why poetry is relevant. To help speak to the individuals emotional state on how to describe what is meant to say. To help people see creative expression through a different lens of another. I want people to understand how poetry speaks to the inner man/women deep inside. By tapping into the creative ability, you will learn the essence of how poetry can be healing to the soul as it relinquishes unexpressed emotions. I want people to be able to reflect and master the art of using their mind to captivate readers to freely express who they are.
