Poetry comes in many variations. It’s a form of storytelling. Some stories are sung, some spoken and others may be acted out. However, poetry is a form of storytelling that can be expressed in multiple ways at the same time.
Usually written with the hopes that the eyes of the reader skim the pages and add life to the words. Written to be pondered and written to be a release for its author.
We know many great poets that we should all give homage to. The late and great Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Matsuo Basho to name a few. I believe we are all poets. We all have a story or a song that can be sung. We just need a platform to share it. Here is my Poetry Corner.
It’s Everywhere!
As you take the time to sift through these pages. I encourage you to find the similarities of your life riddled throughout my words. Little did you know that we are more synchronized than expected. Little did you know that your words and your thoughts are being repurposed in the lives of the manyothers around you. That is the blessing of poetry. It’s everywhere
It’s Universal!
Did you realize that you too are a poet? You have a story and a song. You have a rhythm to how you speak and atone that no other can mimic. Give your mind a break and let your fingers do the walking over the keys. Use if you prefer to get the words out of your head and on paper. Get the feelings out. Say the things you have always wanted to say, but knew that no one was available to hear. That in itself is the blessing of poetry. It’s universal.
