A trio of poems to celebrate the art and commitment to writing poetry.

Blind To The Right Side

And that’s what I’m going to do
‘Cause I think I got somethin’
I’m gonna throw it all away
So let’s get together, right now
‘Cause I think we did a thing or two
Between us I don’t know what
I hate myself for being blind
Blind to the right side
And I hate myself for being blind
Blind to the right side
So let’s get together, right now
‘Cause I think we did a thing or two
Between us Blind to the right side
And I hate myself for being blind
Blind to the right side
So let’s get together, right now
I was blind to the right side
And I didn’t know what that sign said,
I was blind to the right side

So I’m Gonna Start Again

So I’m gonna start again
It’s alright, I’m alright
Don’t have to cry
When I do you won’t never see me again
Cause when I say I’m gonna leave
You won’t need to call me
And that’ll be enough
So I’m gonna start again
Come on I’m gonna start again
I’m gonna start again
So I’m gonna start again again
Don’t have to cry
When I do you won’t never see me again
Cause when I say I’m gonna leave
You won’t need to call me
And that’ll be enough
So I’m gonna start again
Yeah I’m alright, I’m alright
Can’t wait until tomorrow
Yeah I’m alright
I’m gonna stop loving you
I’m gonna stop loving you

In This World Today

Do you want to make a change?
Don’t try to change me
‘Cause I’m still a part of you
It’s the same old story
In all of my life
I’d always hoped we would have a rocky start
One day I’m walking away from you
You’re leaving and running away
You’re leaving me
I am leaving you
In a moment
I’m giving you all that you need
I’m giving you all that you need
In this world today
No one understands me like you
I do
I’ve thought about it
But nothing ever seems the same
Someday I’ll try to mend what’s been broken
In this world today
But I can’t make you happy
I’m afraid of being alone
I’m afraid of being alone
I try.


Poems For Beginners – How to Start Writing Poetry

Woman thinking and writing poetry
Deep in thought while writing.

Millions of people around the world have attempted their hands on composing poetry at some point or another. Occasionally, people even turn into writing poetry as a way of representing, inspiration, or perhaps desire at times of emotional insight. But when you first start to write, you will probably realize that the procedure is a bit harder as it might appear.

The excellent thing about this is that it is always possible to make your own poetry. Whether you decide to learn how to read poetry or start using a piece of prose on your poems, the fact of the matter is there are thousands of ways that you can find the job done. Here are some basic tips that you think about right now, whether you would like to start writing for fun or as an outlet for something much greater.

The very first suggestion to take before you start is to always have a fantastic idea about what you are going to write about. You do not wish to waste your time writing something simply because you had a particular event or thought that you want to share. Consider why you want to compose. Are you trying to express something on your own, or are you hoping to express something about the problem that you’re having?

This could be an event that happened to you lately, like a passing or a special occasion that you’re dealing with, or perhaps it could be some very specific and very personal problems you’ve experienced in your life. Regardless of the reasons behind the poem, always make sure that the message is clear and you have something that is significant to you personally.

There are many distinct sorts of poetry which may be composed, although nearly all of them are based around precisely the exact same format. The most common style is known as the”Overtone,” which essentially means there are four chief paragraphs and then a closing one. After you start, write every paragraph using the same format. Next, after completing the fourth paragraph, then use the same format , and then close with the initial closing paragraph.

Poetry that’s employed as a form of self-expression will normally tell a narrative. You may write 1 section of poetry and write yet another, which might connect directly to the first one. This may be a very strong process and is in fact the first step in building the arrangement of your poem. Once you’ve got a strong outline for your job, you can begin to work on the remainder of the poem. By composing the body of the poem, adding the pictures, metaphors, rhymes, and also a few lines of poetry regarding the entire poem.

The last tip would be to write the poem in a fashion that you feel comfy in. If you begin to feel overwhelmed, look back to the outline which you just created and write more gradually and you may even opt to look on the internet for guidance. Writing poetry can be quite different from one individual’s opinion, which means you may realize that a relative or friend may give you great ideas for what you might love to do.

After you’ve started writing, always try to concentrate on one segment at a time. It can be very hard at times to compose the whole poem at the same time, particularly if it’s a lengthy one. You’ll find it helpful to read other works of poetry that will help you get into the ideal mindset in regards to finishing a poem.
