Why do you write poetry? (for all the poets that post in here)

[Tupacfan]

I always write poetry for our congregation, for Nirankari congregation

you should share some of your material sometimes.

Music can be poetry in motion. When a poet or artist expresses the voice of a group of people who have no voice the words and content of the poem (or song) can be so powerful that it can start a movement of change that can be revolutionary!!! That is exactly What the A.W.N.I.A.A Project is all about . This amazing Album is about 1 black man in the White House and 2.3 million behind bars. This song is off "the A.W.N.I.A.A. Project"- turning music into a movement. With tracks from South Africa all the way to LA and everything in between. This album was based off a letter to Obama written by a prisoner. His powerful words sparked a movement, resulting in the award winning independent Short film "Mr. President" which inspired a music album.

Check out this link to see these poets share a powerful message to President Obama

Dlisted,

Indeed music can be poetry in motion.

Poets have a voice to express on any politician stance and poets have a impact on the things we express about within our voices..

I appreciated the video clip, I peeped it and enjoyed hearing these poets voice their concerns..

Goodluck with your future endeavors!

Peace!

It looks like everyone is on that writers block!!!!

What's up with that??!?! I know somebody has got to write about something!!

So who ever wanna collab with me on a jawn I'm open for it! Whatever topic is cool with me, I'm willing to delve into anything poetical.

I've been working on this jawn call Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, but I been doing a whole lot researching on colonization and assimilation so I thought I was finish but clearly I'm not after all my findings.. Embarking on this research, I read along the lines that palestines and native americans share so much commonalities, neverthless I thought ppl from afar has and is going thru the same struggles as my people have endured.. Anyways, just wanna put that out there, share ya'll my latests research findings that has inspired me to write bury my heart at wounded knee!

Peace and blessings fellow poets and writers!

Their's a reason why we write, express ourselves and I'd like to know when did you started writing? what inspired you to write? post one of your favorite lines or one of your favorite poems?

After a few poets answer, I'll follow suit and reply..

*Mods, sticky this... a poets introduciton is needed here in WTE...

Why write poetry ?

If there has be a reason -

Sometimes I think it is a way

to make what we say

last more than a day

and maybe longer than a season.

[REAL_POETICAL]

I write to avoid shattered mirrors

biblical tossing and violent justification

to express my darkest secrets

and become the real me

the real me beyond the real ability to be me

but the realness thats bold that my afraid body

lone to keep inside

i write to recite the scriptures in my words

to cancel the enemy's plan

and hand it to the next man or woman

to become more than what they claim to be

i write to remake reality

and free the world from the mask its supporting

so they can all see whats lost the moment they exit womb

 

[Tupacfan]

I write because I want to express my feelings in a way that doesn't involve breaking things.

I feel it, I feel it...

Thanks for sharing with is btw..

And I'm digging the hell outta ur sig!

Thanks for sharing with us.

Never force your writing. Let it come to you. I suggest listening to music or watch a tv show that stirs up your emotions. I know for me whenever I hear some fight music or watch a show with a somber song in the background, my mind start to churn, thus words are thought of.

Na, don't force it. Just let it come to you.. step outta your comfort zone, take a nature walk, get in touch with nature, idk hike the nearest mountain around your area and just let your spirit be free and words will come to you..

I think we all go thru that phase. good luck and keep on writting..
