Give Poetry A Chance

There something about poetry that always intrigues me. I really love how an author dares to pore feelings on a page and let everyone read it. 'Cause that's what poetry is to me, pure feelings. I have a few poems that I really like, especially. But in general I just really love all different forms of poetry.

For example 'The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,' A poem written by Bonnie Parker about how she loves Clyde and in which she reflects Upon their criminal life together. How she knows that she won't live long and that she'll meet her end soon, but that she's happy that she'll die with Clyde by her side. I love this poem. It's so beautiful and I love how Bonnie reflects on her life so simply, but so deeply.

The same goes for a poetry classic: 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe. This poem is phenomonal. The rhyme technique is so unique and really advanced. I love the story of the Raven and I love how you really go through something there. I've never read anything that comes close to 'The Raven' by Poe.

Of course, there are many poems and poets that are amazing. Like Shakespeare, Wordsworth et cetera. And you Should really give them all a chance. Modern poetry also has its charm. Think Rupi Kaur, Warsan Shire, Lang Leav et cetera.

Poetry will change your life. I'm sure of it.

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
