Releasing The Spirit Through Poetry

I look at poetry as an opportunity to release the spirit of our real nature. We can speak free of whatever is on our hearts and minds. No outside entity can control what's on the heart. It's one reason I began writing poetry.

Poetic words can flow like a river. It can rise up like a storm or be dropped into our hearts as if a seed is being planted. It wasn't long after I began writing that I realized how much I had to say. There were things inside of me that needed to be shared with others. My own spirit was bound up and I didn't realize it or maybe the words were stored up until my epiphany came. The point is is that began writing poetry. 

I'm not sure as to what style I possess. the idea is to write freely without restraint from disciplines, trends, others criticisms. The point is to write. As I improve on the craft of poetry writing, I want to keep it fresh and natural. Each of us has his/her own style and we should not stifle it or try to emulate others. We go through experiences that are unique only to us as individuals.

When others read and hear your words you are sharing a part of your soul. People respond to it in different ways but it's you nevertheless.
