I live and breathe poetry. I’ve been writing poetry since I was 11 years old. Over the years my poetry has changed. Back then I wrote poems about boys, school, and my life as a kid. Now I write about whatever inspires me.
So many topics to choose from. I write from within. My deepest thoughts form words and fight to be first on the page. Sometimes my thoughts flow faster than my pen writes.
I have always loved poetry from the moment I first read my 16 year old older sister’s poems when I was 11 years old I’ve been hooked. It fascinated me to discover that there is a style of writing with such a beautiful sound, almost like a cadence or a heart beat. I had to try it out for myself. I used a new journal and every day I wrote a poem into that book.
That was the start of my poetry journey. I’ve tried all styles. I’ve published poetry and done a poetry slam, talent show as well as participated in Open Mic Nights. I’ve eagerly watched the beauty in Spoken Word performance videos and watched fellow poets performing at Open Mic Nights.
In summation, I love poetry very much. It means so much to me. It’s been my comfort through hardships, my prescription and my joy to celebrate successes.
