Poetry and It's Magic...!!!

Poetry is one of those things where you learn more about yourself as an artist than you do about the form itself.

 “The fountains mingle with the river, and the rivers with the ocean, the winds of heaven mix forever, With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine, in one spirit, meet and mingle. Why not I with thine?”       By - Percy    

You know writing Poetry is a very interesting journey and it will make us better writers. It has always been a bit fantastical especially Shakespeare’s Sonnets. They always seemed to be border lining on the magical and that was so very alluring.

Poetry is known for its magic.

 It expresses emotion. A lot of writing forms express emotion, but with poetry, it seems to go deeper. With such minimal writing, the words can mean anything which can make it relatable to so many people. And one person can have one perspective while another can think it means something completely different.

It plays on words and sounds. It is amazing how intricate the words and sounds can flow in a piece of poetry. The rhythm and rhyme really make a piece of poetry stand out. There are so many different forms. You have a free verse, sonnets, villanelles, prose, and so many more. Poems can rhyme or they don’t have to. But at the end of the day, they all shine with so much magic. With any form of writing, an author puts a piece of their soul into it. All those words come from the heart; it is our blood and our life. Poetry really shows us this, though. It is all because of the raw emotion put into it and exuding from it. Poetry uses impressive elements to bring words to life as just the smallest phrase can become a beacon of raw emotion, the smallest sound can send a chill up your spine, and yeah goosebumps too.

Whether you are a frequent reader of poetry or not, it is still relevant today. Though it's likely that you'll turn to poetry at some point in your life. Most people turn to poems when they are going through a difficult moment. Birthdays, funerals, and weddings are examples of joyous or sorrowful occasions. At times when emotions are overwhelming and stressful, poetry can provide a clear statement of experience. Poetry can also be used to explore the possibility of future change, bringing with it the poet's concerns and hopes.

 Brainstorm your ideas and be a successful ballad maker. Writing a love poem can be difficult because you want to avoid being too sappy or sentimental while remaining sincere.

Rhyming is not everything.

 Rhyming is not everything. When most people think of poetry, they probably picture elaborate rhyme patterns that poets use to organize their work. Whether contemporary poets, who are often prone to tossing old rhyme schemes away, like it or not, poetry is related to rhyme. Why do some poets choose to rhyme their poetry while others do not? We'll cover everything from why rhymes are important to sorts of rhymes, how to choose one, and why poets occasionally choose to employ unrhymed lines in their poetry in this post. Poems have a rhythm in general, but they don't necessarily rhyme. This is because rhyme is not the most significant aspect of a poem. A poem should instead convey (express) a feeling or an image that we can feel or see (or touch or hear or taste). Poems are frequently misunderstood as having to rhyme. True, if you want something to stick in people's heads or sound good, read-aloud rhymes can help. However, they aren't required. Even if a lot of current poe...

Slam Poetry

A poetry slam is an art competition where poets perform spoken word poetry in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. At a poetry slam, poets compete as individuals or in teams, and their performances are judged as much on excitement and style as on content. The judging is normally done by a panel of five judges, who are usually chosen from the audience. The response of the audience can sometimes be used to judge the poets. Members of the crowd are picked by an emcee or host to serve as judges in a poetry slam. There are five judges at the national slam, although regional slams usually have three. Following each poet's performance, each judge assigns a score to each poem. The scores usually range from zero to ten. The top and lowest scores are removed, leaving each performance with a score between 0 and 30. The host will frequently introduce a "sacrificial" poet before the competition begins, whom the judges will grade to calibrate their judging. At a typical slam...
