What You Will Learn?

  • Writing poetry is therapeutic. As you identify and express your emotional state, you are both detaching from and connecting to your inner world. By sorting through your thoughts and labelling them with specific words and analogies, you are taking ownership and a step towards growth. By putting words on the page, you are in effect laying yourself bare and cleansing yourself. You are opening up to the possibility of growth..
