Poetry has always been personal therapy for me, I’m sure most poets will agree… There you go, you see? I can’t help myself. When faced with a personal problem, writing it down in flowing verse would instantly make me feel better once the last full stop made its mark. It’s basically a cleanse. When I started writing to prompts however, I entered a whole new world of subject matter that sparked more informative and storytelling pieces. Also, a lot more fun! But at its core, poetry is still my personal therapist, always on call.
