Poetry

So this post was for yesterday!

Poetry.

I love poetry. It's something magical and powerful. It's like another language. I wish I was better at writing it then I am. But I try. I enjoy reading more though. There is something about it all that intrigues me. It's a very honest form of stating things. There are no pretenses, there are no lies. You simply just say what you want to say. The trick and crux of it is that you say it in a different way. You don't make it easy for the reader, you say what you want without just saying it. It's complex.

Poetry is used to express oneself. You write a poem to a loved one telling them how much you love them. I used to write my mom poems for Mother's Day and her birthday. They'd consist of something like "roses are red, violets are blue and I love you."  And through the years they'd get more complex on how I appreciate everything she does for me and she's the best mom ever. Now I just write her letters. Just as deep, not quite so hard.

If I had a girlfriend I'd write her love poems every once in a while. But I don't. So whatever. Ladies it's your loss. :p

One thing though I hated analyzing poems in English because I'd always interpret it one way, and it'd turn out to be something completely different. But that's the life of any student right?

I love reading some of my friends'  poems. They write beautifully.

I love how there is a poem for just about anything. All we have to do is go out there and look for it. Or hey write it yourselves.

And April is the month of poetry, so maybe later on this month there will be some new poems. Keep an eye out yeah?
