Poetry December 17, 2009

I enjoy poetry. I enjoy it in its many different forms. Poetry with rules and standards, Poetry with boundaries, Spoken Word, Written Prose, I simply enjoy its many forms. I enjoy the way it can bring you up, set you down, place images in your head and make you question and think. I simply enjoy poetry. Poetry set to music, poetry in silence. I enjoy the freedom of expression and how through time what we consider poetry has changed, evolved, gone back and forth, between what is correct and incorrect, but it is simply our way to express what is on our minds. I enjoy creating it and hearing others creations. The flow of words can be soothing and flowing, blunt and jarring, structured or erratic; it has so many different forms. Much the same way that people are, in our many different forms, our different ideas, different ways of life, different ways to express ourselves, we are still human. We see differences so much we sometimes forget to see our similarities. We are all poetry.
