It is truly an art form that expresses some of the purest emotions of the soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for my love of poetry firstly stems from the process of actually writing it, and the effect it has on ones psych. From start to finish its the most rewarding process that puts all ones emotions on paper so as to take the most complex feelings and expressing them in the most beautiful, powerful images that's visual effect describes your emotions completely. It is for me the best form of Catharsis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly in the interpretation of poetry itself! Every poem will mean something different for different people according o their own personal experiences and understanding. You never know what the poet really meant you only know the effect it has on you and how it makes you feel inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It a personal piece of the poets heart and soul that they put into every poem&lt;br /&gt;and more so it touches your heart and soul so deeply that only that poem could describe the influx of emotion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8597531402581828944-9013844977245141056?l=amateurpeotress.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://amateurpeotress.blogspot.com/feeds/9013844977245141056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8597531402581828944&amp;postID=9013844977245141056' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8597531402581828944/posts/default/9013844977245141056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8597531402581828944/posts/default/9013844977245141056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://amateurpeotress.blogspot.com/2008/10/why-i-love-poetry.html' title='Why I love Poetry'/><author><name>Bridgexxx</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07403579685601535775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qgbRvnSjy4w/SNzepLVkgeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/MHzFu5WjwPY/S220/blog+pic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597531402581828944.post-3459175298517116133</id><published>2008-09-28T15:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T14:09:36.946-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Independence</title><content type='html'>As my first post I would like to take this opportunity to explain what I would like my blog to be about. I want it to be fun, entertaining and relevant. It is for anyone and everyone with a keen quick sense of humor and an inclination to individuality. I want it be able to showcase my unique style and sense of individualism. To be completely honest and 100% free... This blog is indubitably all about me, about my life, about my experiences, my views and opinions and my personality. It is going to be simple and poetic and I would love everyone to share any similar feelings and experiences to post without inhibition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never kept a diary before, Only a book of poetry...&lt;br /&gt;slowly but surely I would to share this as well, as an unstripping of my soul and cleansing of my spirit.
