hi there poetry to me is amasing it can unleash a number of feelings ones that sometime are hidden deep inside us ,and can help to read other peoples poetry, as it can make us less alone as we read that we are not the only ones going through shit in life!!!!!!!!!! well you get the point!!!!!!! express your mind and your soul will follow!! heres the first poem i wrote!!!!!!!!! the ocean A place I can go to whenever I choose , Where I don’t need money or flashy shoes, I need not put on ayes or graces here I can be myself or shed a tear, For a moment my cares and woes are gone Sunlight glistens on the oceans roar The sound of waves brushing on stones Like a healing force from this magical place For a moment I am lost I wish I wish I could stay here forever. i use my poems as a journal it makes more of an interesting read!!!!!!!
i have poems that spin in my mind for days before i write them, and then i have journal poems, which are just slightly more poetic, far less polished, ways of talking about the events of my day (often "insignificant" ones, like putting on a hoodie). sometimes a journal poem turns into a polished poem, sometimes the other way around. anyway, good poem, especially for a first. I remember starting out writing songs and then going more to the poetry side of writing.
