Is it just about poem writing?
It’s a happy thing to come across someone writing a poem. So often, writers in my classes are confused about poetry. “I’m not sure where to start.” “I’ve never written a poem.” “I am confused about the rules.”
I tell them, a poem is expressing your soul in an artful way, using words. It doesn’t have to “follow any rules.” You don’t have to start at the beginning. And, if you’ve ever written a love letter or made up a lullaby to a sleepy baby or invented a nickname, you have written a poem.
And a poet? A poet is simply someone who notices when they have written a poem.
That poet could be you.
