Poems, Poetry and The Haiku

I love writing poems almost as much as I love reading them. I just had to share with others my love of Great Poetry, Famous Poets and my own attempts at Prose.

My Favorite types of poetry are Haiku, Sonnets and free verse.  The following is a Haiku that I wrote recently.  Although it does conform to the rules of Haiku and is about nature; I like to experiment with different topics such as love and romance.

lilypads sailing amid
raindrops dancing splash

Appreciating Poetry 

Coming Full Circle

I first fell in love with Poetry when I was a teen. I loved writing and it was an outlet for expressing my feelings. But I don't think that I fully appreciated Poetry until I read the poems of other people -- famous poets and those not so famous -- that I began to understand how profound they were. A poet chooses his or her words carefully. Each word builds strength on the one before it until the reader is left truly moved to their very core.

There are so many Famous Poets who have left us with a legacy of great poetry like William Shakespeare, Robert Frost and the unforgettable Edgar Allen Poe. Each of these Poets has their own unique approach to writing poetry but all have mesmerized and captured our hearts.

So to truly appreciate poetry is to read it. To love it is to be inspired. To inspire is to write it for others to read -- Coming Full Circle.

Michelle, I want to invite you to read a Billy Collins poem I posted just a few minutes ago. It's called Sweet Talk and my blog's address is http://mypoetry.wordpress.com
There is also a youtube link so you can hear him reading the poem.
