Poetry used to be really difficult. But that's because I had it in my head that I had to follow a lot of fancy rules to write a poem.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few years to realize that there are plenty of different types of poems with rules, and plenty of poems without rules too. And the more I started working with poetry, the more my love for it increased.
Poetry for me is almost like writing a public diary. The exact events I'm writing about may not always be transparent to the reader, but I strive to make the emotion transparent. I think it's best that way. I love reading poetry that I can connect to, but keeps itself just vague enough that I can put my own heart and experience in the author's position, just as a reader.
