My Experience with Poetry
Write a 50-word paragraph that refers to your personal experiences with poetry. The experiences do not have to be at school, although they may be if you wish. Be specific please.
Poetry, with laser-like efficiency, penetrates more deeply into my heart than any other literature. I love its unique ability to make me feel. Reading two or three poems a week is a balm for my soul. Without poetry, my life would be barren, my spirit unfed.
Poetry is my gate way to finding peace and happiness, when I write poetry I love how I can turn my emotions into rhyme words it lift my spirit. I won my high school poetry contest in grade 12 which meant a lot me because I was afraid to share a part of me with others. Without poetry I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Poetry for me is a huge ocean on a sunny day with blue and clear water. Poetry hugs me very softly and relieves my burden. Poetry gives me strength and happiness when reading it, especially when I have lost hope. Poetry brings satisfaction to my soul. Without poetry, my life would be a barren desert.-55 words
Motivational and inspirational poetry, I really adore. It gives me a sense of enormous well being. A line or two from Dalai Lama's poetry and words of wisdom has become a daily prayer for me. Without poetry is like living a good life without a purpose.
When I was in high school in India I never heard the term “Poetry”. When I started going to school here in Canada again, I was told by my son that “Poetry” is a required to be learned here. One day while I was in class my teacher explained what “Poetry” was he said “It’s a type literature that uses devices and words to make a picture in your head.” I find poetry hard still to this day.
My soul wiggles happily every time I heard or read poetry. My spirit enjoys the beautiful touching of the words that conceive such a piece of art. I cannot imagine my life without it. My soul will be into deep darkness and words will not have meaning in my life.
Poetry is the smooth waves of words that can wash away all of the burdens in life. Although I have never wrote a poem, I cannot live without reading them. Whenever I feel that the bundle of life gets too heavy, I go to read poems. The magical words from Hafiz (the Iranian poet) make me to fly and reach the blue sky.
Understanding poetry has not been easy for me however, I am impress and fascinated the way how poet express their emotions. I love hearing the unique sounds of the rhythm and rhyming of the words, it gives me peace of mind and relaxes my spirit. Life is boring without poetry.
Poetry is an art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken. Every single word carries deep valuable meaning. Also it makes a reader to sympathize with words. Sometimes I find that understanding poetry is very difficult, but it feels great to finally realize the poet's intention of writing after reading several times and thinking about it.
When I had my first experience writing poetry it was very peaceful and rewarding. I never knew it would come so naturally to me. I really enjoyed writing poetry and sharing it with friends and family. I found the talent of writing it not very difficult.
“My Experience with Poetry” It is amazing that I get difference experience from poetry at different ages: when I was a teenage boy, I liked to recite exquisite rhythm and plaintive words to highlight my sentimentality; nowadays, however, I more enjoy softly fragrant and heartwarming atmosphere behind the verse which can only be tasted in quiet. - 52 words
I like Chinese ancient poetry a lot. I always feel amazing that the poetry can contain so strong emotion and details in such limited words. I tried to write the ancient style poetry when I took the Chinese Major in the university. It was an interesting and unforgettable experience.
My experience from poetry is from a poem that touched my heart . A family who eats a trout that mother made, and without dead father. I learned poetry also from school, and they were like lessons for life.My experience from poetry is also from “Hafez”, a Persian Poet, when I want to divine my future 56 words
I appeal to poetry when I feel light sadness. Most of all I like the poetry of nature. In poetry the plexus of the words gracefully and subtly reflect the beauty and harmony of nature. When I read a poem I become calm and peaceful. - 45 words
Poetry, when I was at grades school, was a bitter pill after meal. I had to chew it, though that’s not my will. After years, the taste remained the same, until one day, Brad came; showing me the same pill with another fill. Now I’ve got a different feel: life without poetry is like a birthday cake without candles. -59 words.
My Experience with Poetry Henry Young Poetry is an art. It is for anybody to express their feeling - like painting, sculpture, music, etc. Poetry is not meant to be easy to understand; it is a unique language of the author. Poetry is the crystal of emotions, which can be viewed again all the time. Poetry is... part of who we are.
Poetry, with intense words, makes me friends from all over the world (even with the deceased). I enjoy the exclusive moment someone speaks to me personally. When I am sad, they listen to me. When I am lost, they are willing to be my company. With poetry, I am not alone. –51 words
Reading poetry enriched my soul while the sound and the meaning of words vibrated with harmony. Truly, some classic Arabic poems have been carved in my memory forever because it expanded my thinking and imagination. Poetry is the mirror of poets and without it I can’t picture the reality and creativity of others.
In my opinion poetry is a different way to express thoughts or feelings. I consider poetry as an original writing, where words posses a deep meaning. Sometimes is not easy to understand, but is part of the beauty about this art.
Poetry is like a protein that feeds my emotions the nutrients they need to stay strong. When I read poetry I feel mesmerized by the words painted in my mind by the authors. Although sometimes poems can be sad, the end result is inevitably a great chance to have a thinking session about the meaning behind the words.
Poetry reminds me my childhood and school: I always enjoyed to listen Pushkin’s fairy-tales, but never experience to write. Sometimes we were playing to talk rhymed when we were teenagers, but it was a game. To write poetry was for me always something impossible, something special. Not every poetry I like. Words-51
Poetry, like a sudden gust of wind blowing in my face, sets my thoughts free. Romantic poems are so sweet, that make me pleased. Reading poetry regularly is like planting a giant tree. The more I read, the deeper I perceive.
Writing a Poem is looking into something through a magnifying glass. A hidden or unrealized beauty of objects comes alive in a moment. Above that, when I find life lessons I’ve been eager for, a surge of emotions and feelings multiplies; I feel so awake! Then, the imprinted remains in me, and stir me from time to times. (58 words)
Poetry is a flow of words that leave me dazzle at times; the meaning of the words are often misinterpret due to the focus on all the literal devices. However, once understand, it feels like sky full of cloud clear away and the sun start to lighten my world.
Poetry, with ocean-like meaning, quenches the thirst of my soul. I like it because whenever I read poems, my soul flies and reaches comfort. Repeating my memorized poems rejoices my mind and soul. Without poetry my soul would wander, and my life’s sky would be moonless. –46 words
I love that poetry rhymes, and sometimes it does not. At times, poetry can tell a life story (something so realistic) and sometimes it describes things or places so that we can almost feel them. Poetry is magical and very unique. I wrote a poem that was published in the “Celebration of Poetry in British Columbia” and it was a fun experience. I was very proud of myself and thankful for the recognition. - 73 Words.
