WHAT IS POETRY?   

By: Angela Canlas

​

  Poetry for me is a written form of feelings and emotions that unconsciously derived from heart and mind. It is a form of words that occurs when you feel the anger, joy, sorrows and hurtful circumstances. Poetry has no constraint and limitations. You are free to shed your tears , to laugh out loud and to show your romantic side through writing. In poetry, you can exercise your hidden creativity, your wittiness and your sensibility.    You will learn how to measure and to estimate the words through your senses as well as in relating it to our lives. Poetry taught me to be an artist. Artist in a way that it creates colorful and imaginative situations. Its goal is to inspire and encourage the readers and co-poem writers to be more productive and to be God fearing through an honest and straightforward statements.

  Well maybe some of you thought that being a prosperous Poet is having a degree or profession, then you’re wrong. As much as you have the eagerness to learn and to write, you can also be a Poet. Well for me as a writer , your experiences can embolden you to write from the bottom of your heart. And through your moxies, I believe you’ve erudite and learned much from it.Where you can impart and relate it to your compositions. Before making conclusions that being a Poet is burdensome , you must try to write first. Yes, the starting point is always the hardest but don’t cease easily. Composing your own poem can also motivate someone and be an instrument for them to be hopeful and to survive.
