The Art of Poetry

Poetry is an odd thing for me when I was little. One day my elementary school teacher ask me to deliver a poem in a graduation exercises and that cause me more trouble with poetry. Until one day in my senior high school years I was ask to make a birthday card for a friend in my circle. Now it happened that I never really get to know too much about that person so I had really a hard time thinking what to write in her card. Then an idea came up. I'll just play some words and there my passion for poetry was born.

The art of poetry is a wide scope because you can use it in many ways. Lovers expresses themselves through poems. A song is made from a poem. Great writers such as William Shakespeare write their stories in poetic style. Any passion can be expressed in poem. You can even do your meditation in a poetic way.

Poetry writing is a job that is hard to start and hard to end. Once you started a single line the words will just flow like a river that has burst its bank. And you will never know how and when to stop. A heart that is full of passion can write as many poems. Poetry is an outlet of a creative mind and a loving heart. But it's sad to say that poetry and poets like sea turtles are becoming extinct.
