Poetry

Tonight I started reading the sections in my lit book concerning poetry. I will admit, even though I knew poetry had a lot of feeling in it, it did not strike me as being so focused on feeling. I thought it was interesting how poetry is feeling condensed. The writer is trying to put all their feeling in a short space. Every word, therefore, every word has screams with meaning. I can remember times in my life when I was feeling very deeply about something and I wished to get it out. I would take out my diary and try to write something that dripped with what I was feeling. I never really did feel very satisfied with the end results. Therefore, I have a deep respect for those that can do it.
Poetry is so beautiful. I truly wish I could write it. It makes me think, I believe that every person has some form of poetry existing in their life, but so many times they do not realize it is there. In order to get it out you do not need to necessarily need to write it out. For me, I find that it comes out when I dance. That deep inner part of me comes out when I hit the dance floor. For some it might be cooking or painting; it can also be seen in architecture, music, inventions; anything that brings out the heart of a person. If we all learned how to get it out this world would not be so stressed. It also shows just how special every single person is. There is not two people that are completely alike. Wow, I have gone off on a journey of thought! Oops:-)
