Poetry Reflection

   

      Poetry honestly plays a huge part in my life and this is because Poetry can help explain feelings that words cannot. I believe this because sometimes in life you might run into a big situation and sometimes what helps is writing down how you feel. For me this is what I do, I write poetry when I am felling down and it helps me a lot. Poetry will honestly always have a special place in my heart because it will always be there when no one will be. Sometimes I wonder if my feeling for poetry is strange but honestly it isn't because poetry is on of my main escapes. Some people escapes may be sports or painting but mine is poetry.

          I think that poetry relates to everyone because poetry is very diverse meaning that there are a whole bunch of different types and some with different subjects. Poetry is like America, very diverse in so many ways. I think that if people were to look at poetry then they would maybe find one that they would enjoy because everyone can connect to almost everything as long as they put their mind into it. I think this because from my personal experiences I was not at all athletic in sports but I found a sport that I enjoy to play and that is Volleyball. What I am trying to say with this is that for a person who is not very athletic they can still be able to find something that they enjoy about that. In conclusion I believe that everyone can connect to poetry.  

          The life and experiences affect the poets writing because just like Edgar Allen Poe he had a rough childhood and that affected his writing because his writing was very depressing and scary. I think that not only his writing was affected but like I said above on paragraph one that sometimes it is really easy to let your emotions slip out onto your writing or paper. Most of my poems are dark because I was really inspired by Edgar Allen Poe on his writing and I like making writing that is dramatic. In conclusion I believe that every writer is affect by their past.
