~~Creative Therapist

Poetry is therapy to me. Poetry is used to write about memories, feelings, tragedies and opinions. People who have a hard time expressing themselves can do so through poetry.  People who crave creativity can be creative through poetry. Personal poems can record a lifetime of memories ; A photo can show us what a memory looked like. However a poem can tell us what the memory felt like. There is nothing quite like poetry. Poetry is personal. Poetry portrays the writers thoughts and feelings. Poetry makes the world more interesting and beautiful. Poetry gives us freedom to relate to or create with our inner selves. To read poetry is an adventure. The reader must open one's mind and reach inside the poem to see and feel what the writer is portraying. Even if a poem is difficult to understand, the reader has the freedom to take from the poem anything the reader pleases. That is the beauty of poetry, poetry is written for both the reader in the writer. To write poetry is liberating. Poetry has no restrictions and no punctuation rules. Poetry gives freedom to write anything, however the writer pleases. The writer may write a glimpse of a thought or about a knife wound into the heart. With poetry, the writer can express so much with few words. My introduction to poetry has opened a broad horizon of possibilities. To keep a journal is frustrating when feelings and thoughts are not always clear. To write a poem a day takes the weight off of writing. A poem can be silly or sad simple or deep good or bad. Poetry is my therapist. Poetry does not cost me. Poetry is always there for me. Poetry supports me. Poetry is my shoulder to cry on. I love you poetry. Poetry,Thank you

I wish to write a poem
I hope it takes you home
To a place you love
Familiar comfort you have always known
For you too will want to write
A poem to keep you safe at night
Please write and see
That poetry for you and me can become all that is right
It is a dance not a fight
