Why write poetry
jvp said:Words splashing across the digital screen, for what reason? Sharing some tragedy, beauty, love, emotion, desire. A chance to straighten out our random thoughts. For me, writing poetry lifts me, typically from one form of pain to another, as the focus shifts. Why do you write?
I only write when I have something to say. And when that becomes poetry, it grows into metaphors, personification and a more subtle way of challenging the reader with a point. You could take it literally, or as an insincere game. I try to leave it open to the readers' interpretation. A way to lure into a false sense of security and understanding, people have a need to know. To write based on questions, it is good to have answers; however vague I may answer them is upon you to decide.

U can express your personal thaughts
Make your self laugh cry or everything inbetween
I wrote in a journal for a long while until i found du
But when u can have other people read your stuff

I rille enjoy it and thank u all for reading
And being around
Peace

Well put Waterviolet....
it's a release of all the chaos confined in the brain
somehow putting it out there
another layer pealed from insanity

It was never a choice. It just is. I've always wanted to be a writer of novels, adventure books... I have often tried to be a writer of novels, adventure books... Poetry is the only thing that flows naturally out of me and the only thing I've ever published.
I agree it helps me think its expanded my vocabulary and i can sound fairly smart in conversations now and not sound like a total idiot, well most of the time. Sometimes i still look like an idiot but its all thanks to righting. it also fuels my creativeness.

@threecrows - I think you make a good point about writing fuelling creativity. I think you begin to notice other areas of your life that can be changed when you hold a more creative mindset. It's the gateway to change, I think. It expands your mind and all that jazz.
