almost forgot my love of poetry


I love poetry.

I don't know exactly what it is about poems.
Maybe its the fact that by saying so little, you can say so much.
Or the fact that you can say exactly what you are feeling,
but hide it cleverly in an sculpture of carefully place vocabulary.

I used to write poems all time.
It was just so much easier then keeping a journal.
I could document my thoughts and feelings while creating a masterpiece.

I almost forgot how much I loved poetry writing poetry.
I've always loved reading it,
but I forgot how writing poems made me feel alive.
This little video helped me to remember.
Maybe I'll start writing again, but I'll definitely be sharing some of my favorite poems.

My favorite part would have to be:
"You will put the wind in winsome, lose some.
You will put the star in starting over, and over."
