Why Poetry? Why Not!
When I talk or correspond with people about poetry I often hear:
Poetry is hard to understand
Poetry is old and archaic
I'm not a 'poetry person'
I'm too busy for poetry
Stories you heard or read as a child were poetic and probably rhymed in
structure and presentation!
Most songs you hear broadcast by radio stations are essentially poems!
Sales or commercial 'jingles' are basically poems!
And yet, Poetry is our original literary expression. Poetry started at humanity's beginning and is still with us today!
There are more poets and poems than ever before!
Here are some points to keep in mind;
Like a new cuisine, Poetry is often an 'acquired taste'.
Unlike most fiction, Poetry is written not only to entertain, but to encourage, educate, edify and entertain.
Poetry has a quality unlike other forms of written communication, for poetry identifies with the reader and the reader's life.
Here is an offer and invitation for you.
I would like to give you a free copy of my book EPIGRAM.
(An Epigram is defined as "A short, witty poem or saying.")
EPIGRAM has eighty short (and I mean short) story poems. Each piece is between 0 to 13 lines long!
Yet each one is a complete short story, with a beginning, middle and end expressing a thought, dilemma, lesson or theme.
Each piece explores an issue or emotion experienced by you, or someone you know, family, friends, or co-workers.
It's FREE!
The offer is free, the book is free, the reading is free. What do you have to lose?
This is your opportunity to reunite with poetry, your long lost friend from childhood. But these are poems for you, the adult.
Feed your mind, broaden your horizons. Rediscover Poetry. It's in your DNA.
