You can write poetry.

Yes, you can. 

As poet Erica Jong says, “Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.” 

Well, the posts on this blog are intended to help you find your poetic talent.  And hopefully you won’t have to follow that talent to the dark side.

Poetry can be melancholy or inspiring.  It often contains beautiful, lofty, elevated thoughts.  But it can just as easily be humorous, bawdy and just plain fun. 

 

            Roses are red,

            Violets are blue,

            Anyone can write poetry,

            That includes you!
