Hey guys, so I’ve noticed a few people talk about why they write prose or poetry, personally I do both, but I’d like to talk about poetry right now. I never thought I’d write poetry, I happened onto it on twitter. Just a short piece here or there and as time went on I realised I loved it. The words were freeform, I didnt have to set myself a boundry. I could be just the thoughts I was thinking. Just the moment I was feeling. It took me a little while to open myself up into it. I was afraid people wouldn’t like it. That I wouldn’t get the Rhythm right, or it wouldnt rhyme. But eventually I came to the understanding that it didn’t matter much, my words would take me on a journey. The people who like to read them would find some of the delight, or sorrow I found when writing them. It was freeing, and addictive. So now I very proudly say; yes, I am a poet. And sometimes people think its strange, and sometimes they roll their eyes, but you know what? Let them, there is a joy to it that I cannot explain, for a few moments, in some of my poetry I am able to capture that ephemeral feeling of what it is to be me, and I love it.
