Poetry
Poetry.
This form of art is most important to me, as an individual and this blog is about my undying passion for it and why it means so much.
When creativity overpowers me on an almost daily basis, it gives me the need to write effortlessly onto a piece of paper. This way I can transform the images in my mind, into seamless , impeccable works of art.
I’m usually sitting at a desk somewhere, scribbling down my thoughts onto a corner of a jotter or piece of paper, dreading my forgetful nature to kick in and lose track of my ideas.
People ask me why its such a big deal to me and I don’t think I’ve ever given a particularly clear answer. Until Now.
On the nights when you feel like the sky is falling what do you do? Listen to music maybe, paint, take a walk. Well just when you’re doing your thing, I’m doing mine. Writing a poem. Its my escape, my rescue; my beautiful anti-drug.
A few stanzas in the form of poetry can make me feel human, like I’m experiencing everything I should in order to build my character.
The minute someone makes fun of me because of it, I feel hurt. I would never dream of putting down anyone else’s ideas, so why should they put down mine? Difference is not unacceptable.
It’s not just writing poetry I love, its reading it too. I can read a few lines and feel completely overwhelmed by the way the poet uses devices to depict their own emotions. It can truly effect me in ways I didn’t know possible.
This is not a very long blog, but its just my thoughts on the subject. Comments are greatly appreciated on yours too.

Actually, Poetry and songs are completely different. Just like Ella said, its a lot more complex writing a poem than a song. I mean, I could write a song any day but poetry is much more vivid.

missand, i beg to differ. Poetry is way more complex and takes more work to accomplish.

I don't really write poems its more of songs, but hey its almost the same thing.

I totally agree Ella. Poetry can contain such a powerful message but be only a few lines long
And yeah I mean I'm so busy a lot of the time, things just kinda get on top of me and tend to forget the things that are important. But i'll be trying my best to keep my poetry flowing as best as I can :]

reaching out for a pen and paper was probably one of the best things I ever did. I cannot imagine my life without my art anymore. I've tried prose but it can't compare to poetry. I admire someone who can say so much using so little words.
However, lately I haven't had much time on my hands or the inspiration to write, and I kind of feel like a part of me is dying, like I'm losing my one true love. But I intend to work on improving even more this summer. Nothing's gonna stop me :)
