want to do this or that or
nothing.“

"If I read a book and it
makes my body so cold no
fire ever can warm me,
I know that is poetry“
Emily Dickinson


Is a form of expression written seeking approval
from no one but read and interpreted by
anyone and everyone.
It reveals your most inner thoughts that may
never be spoken, forming deep
communication to others and for you, a
cherished and always remembered thought


Poetry is important

It reaches inside people and
heals their wounds like
nothing else can. It is an
escape from reality and
method of coping with reality.
It is certain feeling inside.
