Artist behind each poetry

Hi there Annie Rose! I have written lots of poems. Some were published while some were not. I believe that everyone can be a poet. Poetry is expressing ones thought or feelings and everyone can do that. No rules applied especially if you're writing for expression therefore, anyone can be a poet.

I have written poems quite often. My past and emotions inspire me to write more, I can't just write a poem for the sake of writing a poem. I see beauty within everything around me and that there is something more this world, but to write for the sake of writing I can't do it. I do think it is possible for everyone to be a poet if they put their hearts into it.

I think that every person can be a poet, in fact, I think that most people have, even though they wouldn't want you to read what they wrote. The deeper question is, is it possible for every person to be a good poet? And the answer to that is no. Even some people who are published in magazines I read, I say to myself, "what were they on when they wrote this, and where can I get some?"

My book Cat-House Sonnets, 100 poems celebrating cats, has been published. I write sonnets. I have to disagree. There is some knowledge needed for writing poetry. It's not just a list of pretty words evoking a feeling. That's prose. Poetry follows some rules and conventions. If you read some of the great poets, you will see this. A lot depends on word choice, images and such. True beauty does lie in every one of us, but not everyone can be a poet. It is possible to have poetic thoughts and express some things poetically. But true poetry is an art and a skill. I think it can be learned, but not everything pretty that flows off your pen is poetry.
