You read them at school as your lesson. Boring right? But maybe you take a second look, maybe it’s not so boring after all.
Poetry goes way back, don’t worry I won’t get to much into history! But the point is, it still remains popular today, (maybe not as much amonst kids). Poetry can be anything. It can be educational, mysterious, peaceful, and even humorous. There are many different types of people, so the many kinds of poetry matches perfectly with it. Personally, I love writing poetry. It’s not long like a story so you can just jot it down quickly. Also, I feel writing speaks more in poetry instead of in long compostitions. Many famous quotes and sayings come from poetry. Also, poetry helps you get a better look at something. For example, a summer day. Maybe you thought it was hot and sticky, but a poem could help you look at the bright side of things. I find that writing poetry helps relieve different emotions. Try writing your own poems, remember April is national poetry month!
Here is an example of a poem I wrote:
My life is a voyage
On and on I sail
Clouds roll in
the storm rips through my heart
We hang on and on
My life is a voyage
The pleasant days are happy
Kind words flowing my way is the sun on my skin
On and on I sail
It clicks in my mind
This is my place
My life is a voyage
On and on I sail, forever and ever

Dear Emily,
They aren’t very good but sure.
Being the rain
is to create the perfect sleeping music, romantic moments, fun for kids, and at the same time ruining the perfect day.
Being the rain is washing the world clean, going away, and coming back when the worldis diry again. Being the rain is washing away the pain of yesterday.
Being the rain is bringing joy to farmers and to their thirsty crops.
Being the rain is a fresh start.
So there you go.
