Poetry is a form of art that allows people to express themselves, let out their feelings, or just describe a moment in time or a place. Poetry is my way of letting out what I am truly feeling on the inside. My emotions aand opinions are put onto paper in a creative way that allows a reader to feel and see what I am going through. In essence, I believe that I can improve my writing through practice but I enjoy the way I write. Writing free writes in rhyme is something I truly do enjoy. However, I think sometimes it holds me back because I don't listen to my muse at full capacity. At other times, it allows me to think of a new idea that I would have never thought of because I need to match it with the rhyme in the previous line. Each poet has their own form of writing and each reader has their own interpretation of the poem, which allows the art of poetry to be so influential and helpful to not only the writer but the reader as well.
