Poetry-A Soulful Expression

Poetry is fascinating in that it is playing with language. It is acceptable in many forms allowing creative patterns, progressions, schemes. It can derive feelings, thoughts, ideas, understandings, confusion, concern, in a reader or writer that may have never came to awareness if it had not ever been read or written. As you write poetry you can discover things about yourself or others with clarity and depth through your playfulness, focus, and search for depth, as well as different perceptions and relations between subject matters. I think that poetry is yet another soulful release just as artistic and creative measures of any sort, dancing, music, or anything in which a person intentionally decides to look a bit deeper into themselves and pull something out into the open, often taking a risk. Knowing yes, not everyone will understand or accept this part of me I am offering/ sharing, but some one will or may and it is true to me and I am willing to show it in this unique and authentic way. The unique ways people can express themselves is a gift in which we should be willing to share, and the more we are willing to do so the better we will become at it and the more we will see we are able. Poetry is form of expression in a world which has many.
