Why I Like Poetry

I like poetry because I treat them like short stories. Even within a form, you can mold it to make it into YOUR poem.

I like to treat my poems like short stories because it makes them more fun to read. When you read a poem it’s like there’s a cinema going on in your subconscious.

Why I like poetry

     I like poetry because it’s a different way to express your feelings without it being as long as a story. I like the way how it flows depending on the readers voice. I have always wrote so writing poetry will just be another way to express my feelings in a different writing format. With poetry being short, I can easily take one part from the poem and it can describe the whole point of the poem.

Hello , my name is Ta'Coya . I like poetry because it helps me express how I feel. It gives me a better way to connect with others and for people to understand me & what I go through .

I like poetry because its just a way to express my feelings. A way to let go of everything. When you write poetry you  don’t have to worry about you writing  something wrong because its how you feel.

      I like poetry because you can express yourself and your feelings. No one cane judge you about the way you write or anything because it’s your own way. I feel like I’m free when I write and I have nothing to worry about. Poetry helps me with that.
