POETRY

Poetry is a way to express one’s feelings towards a certain thing or subject. It helps let out peoples emotions by writing them, and then telling people who also enjoy doing the same thing.

Poetry could be happy, sad, angry, upsetting, over a death, over love, heartbreak, about the world, about peace, or anything you choose to write about. It is a way for people who don’t know how to show their feelings, express it in a way where they are comfortable of doing it. Many kids have a hard time speaking in public or to people, so it’s a good way for people to express themselves without getting embarrassed. Most people write poetry about love, or about a break-up that they had, and how it affected them.

For poetry, people have poetry Bash’s, where kids and adults come together and read their poetry in front of everyone who’s their by standing on a stage and expressing their feelings. Or you could just sit there and listen to other people read their poetry if you didn’t want to read anything. Also you can meet people there who share the same interests as you and talk to them about how they handle problems or maybe the same problem as you.

Writing poetry is a good way to just let everything out. You don’t even have to show it to anyone, you can just write about whatever you want and get it out of your system, and nobody would have to know. Like if you had a bad day, you could just write everything down in your notebook and then you would feel so much better.

All and all poetry is a good thing for everyone. I think that everyone should write poetry sometime in their life so that they can express themselves without violence, so that there is less violence.
