The Power of Poetry

"The power of language to create and stir up emotions is something that
we should take advantage of. Through poetry, we can present information in a
different way, create awareness with rhythm, and play with words to change minds and maybe even change behaviors." - We Are The Living

Came across this quote and like it. I'm a poet and I didnt even know it :) Actually I had it in me I just needed to cultivate that talent. As I've shown in this blog already, I can be inspired to write a bit of poetry. Mostly it comes from trying to creatively and artistically express a feeling inside me. I like that I have this ability. A gift, if you will, to write about how I feel beyond mere words expressed in a text like a blog. Poetry is cool. Poetry slams are even cooler. I'm working towards writings that can be expressed via a presentation like a Poetry Slam. I think this would be a great way for me to evolve as a writer and as a person.
