After years of people trying to convince me I was stupid through junior high school because I was dyslexic, poetry helped me make it to honors English. It pushed me beyond my limitations and now I have an MFA in creative writing. Poetry is the language of the soul.

Making something from nothing is an act of pure optimism. From you, something new has taken shape, and that’s amazing! This week, express yourself and find solace and relaxation by adding creative pursuits to your self-care routine. Commit to this deliberate focus to prioritize your happiness and wellbeing.

Poetry is a tool that turns expression into communication to those who listen, and sounds like sweet noise to those who don't. A good way to state facts in front of an audience containing both listeners and haters, because how can you hate a message presented this way? Perhaps poetry is how you stay safe while saying what others hate. Although admittedly none of what he said was necessarily controversial, just something that should be talked about more. Good stuff.

Think poetry is not so much read through books anymore but finds a place in video / audio form or even through comet books.... but sure the outside poetry exists! I'm happy to find poetry again ❤ I feel it,,,snap snap
