What is Poetry? Poetry is a special form of language, specifically chosen and placed in an array of sentences. Poetry magically transforms normal dialogue into an expression of love, hope, sorrow, anger and many more emotional responses.
Through poetry, one can display meaningful wordage through sound, rhythm and rhyme. If expressed well, poetry can heighten one's emotional sensitivity. When we engulf ourselves in a good book of poetry, or simply attend a poetry reading, we are consumed by feelings that poetry extracts from us. From Haikus, to Limericks, to Prose - poetry offers a versatile look into the human psyche.
Poetry teaches us stories of heartbreak and happiness, inhibition and solitude. By submersing ourselves into the realm of poetic literature, we open our souls and hearts to wisdom beyond our wildest dreams. There are several, talented poets around the globe. Some great poets of our time are not always the artists (like Robert Frost, for example) we see in anthologies. Superb poets are scattered across the Internet, in our schools, in our homes, even hidden within ourselves. Poetry is one of the most beautiful forms of expressionism put to pen and paper, or now, to key and computer.
Poetry is therapeutic as it allows us to express ourselves in a way that mere words or actions, alone, cannot accomplish. At Holistic Junction, you will find many talented artists.
