Is this a positive or a negative response to being in love? Are you so disheveled that you loved a troubling person who hurt you and now you can't recover? Or are you so crazy in love that you can't think about anything but loving that person? You can write a good poem about a bad situation. And... read more

During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions.

But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... (edited) read more

Love tropes!

Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞

Not a poet but I do love reading poetry

For me Charge of the Light Brigade has been one of the main poems I read. There’s just something about it that’s so surreal. Definitely recommend 👍

I am a bit a poet, only when I’m highly emotional as the words just flow onto the page.

Poetry, fiction, nonfiction. I love to write.

I have hours of experiences with reading and writing, and yet my words still roses overtly, like plant grows from sapling to a youthful tree 🌱🪴🌳

Been writing since middle school ✍🏽

I love reading poetry. But im not a poet

I don't read poetry but I write poetry(Different from other ppl lol Am I weird? XD) or at least used to write. Lately I barely write. I think I should read some poetry to get more ideas.

My dove left and flew away will she come back and stay love is the ultimate power I love you my wild flower....alright reserved usc
