What exactly is Poetry to me?

Poetry is formal way of expressing one's inner feelings. Most poems have different meanings and/or purposes. I write poems because it helps me express feelings i cant quite explain but i know are there. Poetry isnt a hard thing to do. Its not really meant to rhyme. You just do it to make a point. Poetry is a way to tell people how you feel. You catch their attention by writing things you or someone else have gone through or experienced.

Why its important to read.

It is very important to read and many benefits from reading. It can expand your knowledge in many ways, opens opportunities for you and it helps you connect and communicate well with others. You can read faces, books, body language, maybe even movies.

 Reading can expand your knowledge. For instance, I learned, from a book I received in Government, that it takes a long time before a bill becomes a law. In 10th grade I learned the most common scientific. When my grandmother's church had a family gathering, I learned that many people believe different stories about God. I didn’t really think it was possible if they attended the same church.

 Another benefit from reading is it opens opportunities. I was recently visiting an art museum, when a man from Webster University told me about how their college works and what it takes to be apart of their college. He told me that he will be looking forward to seeing me. The other day I found myself reading a college guide from LSU, it gave me information on what it takes to play sports there. One thing it pointed out was a person would have had to play sports for at least two of my high school years and a descent GPA.

Reading also allows you to connect and communicate easier with others in many ways. For example, I connected with my entire school when we, as a group, read a book called “The Hunger Games". We, as in the teachers and students came as one & discussed what happens after each chapter we read. I gathered information on how communicate with deaf people, by reading different sign-language books. Over the summer, I connected with one of my ex-girlfriends when I read a book she had written when we were together.

Honestly, there are thousands of ways reading helps you. Opportunities are all over--Just pick up a book and read. I know if a 4 year old tries to read, you can. Although they can’t pronounce every word, they still have the brains to attempt to read. What about you?
