Who are inclined to read or write poetry?

Words

Words are inside us all.
Waiting for that rhyming call.
Open heart and write away.
Give them freedom to have a say.
Then the words will flow just right.
To make someone else feel bright.

I enjoy a certain form that often features people from Nantucket.

I do love poetry. I did write a few, mostly for my own satisfaction. Not a pro or something. Just love the poetic expression of thoughts and wisdom.

i used to be inclined to write poetry
the urge seemed irresistible, but years of therapy under the supervision of experienced psychiatrists worked a miracle and now i am free of this addiction

I get that. The act of sharing one's words, to touch another is very religious. ✍️❤️🤗
It's exactly why i came here. 😏😊

I mostly write poetry on occasion read it too.

I write poetry sometimes and have been for years. At one time it was very therapeutic for me. I would even go to poetry slams
and open mic nights and read them in public . Some of it is in my posts if you care to read any of it.

It's like I said I don't write to woo but don't mind that it has that consequence.

I write because it just spills over the edge and flows out of me. I can't help it.

I'm afraid of overwhelming them.....

Sarah Mclachlan - Silence

Prose... I do both. Yet not both all the time.

Search the prose group or my writings collection.

The group is mostly my posts!
It gets lonely in there! 🤷🏻‍♂️

The other has all my writing stuff:

I used to write poetry quite often. It was one of my hobbies. However I've encountered a type of writer's block that's lasted for almost ten years.

I write and read poetry and enjoy both so very much and yess have posted some of my thoughts here as well

I write many simple poems, they are on the second page of my collections.

Fools tend to talk, cowards shall remain quiet, wise men will always listen....

I love poetry :) I tried writing it, but I never was great at it.

i read it at times yes
often old favorites though not always

Inclined? I can lean that way!

My favourite poet is Philip Larkin but since the controversy of book banning (I mean REALLY ... in a so-called free country???) I've started reading and enjoying Amanda Gorman

Who are you 'into'?

Well back in my day we all read and wrote poetry day and night for months on end til our fingers bled, and we loved it!!

I go through phases where I like reading poetry. My favourites have always been: Banjo Patterson and Henry Lawson.

I don't write it, but I have some favorite poems among the classics that I read quite often.

I used to from time to time. but things change and I'm a thing, so other stuff now.

I both write and enjoy it.

I avoid it.
