Why do you write poetry?

i write to express my feelings because i am a very hidden person and dontlike peple knowing the real me but my poems i feel tell storys about my life and feelings

I write poetry as my way of expressing my self, and my emotions i always feel better when i'm sad if i write a poem then the next day when i read it i can think back at how stupid crying over it was, or i cry again

I write poetry because I enjoy the thought process that goes into producing a piece of poetry.

It makes me think about what I have decided to write about..If I feel sad it lets me put down on paper why I feel that way...and If I am happy the same goes.

It is also a learning experience when tackling some of the more difficult poetic forms..

I just like the act of putting my thoughts on paper..I also enjoy the reaction of the reader to what I have written, when they can see my point.

My heart is bleeding constantly after the love of my life left me, it wont stop bleeding so paper soakes up my pain and turns into words.
All my poetry is Based on her, there is only 1 or 2 of my peoms that are about something else.
