This past week or so, I have been taking more breaks outside than usual. As always, a cup of coffee, a blunt or two, and a journal to write my thoughts. Yet, lately I have been writing poetry and thinking more deeply about my surroundings. It’s been raining where I live, and the sound of the cold wind and drippy rain has been making this week a lot smoother.
But back to poetry.
Growing up, poetry has always been in my life, and I feel it’s part of me. Yes, it sounds corny, but it’s true. My mother would help me with my speech by bringing me poetry books. Believe it or not, ready poetry outloud does help with speaking in public and overall it’s great training.
As such, I could always feel relaxed and stress-free when writing a poem. Best part of it… The imagination is limited only by yourself. There are many styles of writing poetry; haiku is my favorite to write, but lately I have been writing from the top of my brain. Rather, if it rhymes, follows a beat, or dives deep into emotions. Poetry should be something to enjoy and freely express how you feel.
For me, I think I might start sharing my poetry. I always felt I had to be segmeted to one type of writing and or style. But honestly as a writer I should practice more in different styles as well as post more writing content. (sorry about that)
Poetry has always been part of my life and I am excited to show that part of me, expressing and showing another level. Overall, have a wonderful day.
