In class, my teacher asked me. "Why should people write poetry?" and to me, poetry needs to be a need, a power in ones self of mind. Poetry comes to everyone, with the insight of your life. To show your feelings, by love, sadness, anger. WRITE IT DOWN. It will come to you, words fly by like a dream in the clouds. They disappear in time, so don't forget to WRITE IT DOWN. Poetry expresses our life. That's what it means to be a poet writer, our life is the reason why we should write poetry. To be an expression of words.
