Hey there!

GUESS WHAT?

WORLD POETRY DAY is coming up on March 21, and I'm super excited to dive into how poetry can be like a warm hug for our feelings.

It's pretty amazing how poems can be a safe space for all those emotions bubbling up inside us, helping us to express, make sense of, and even heal our hearts in ways that chatting or texting just can't touch.

So, I've got some cool ideas for how we can use both poetry and prose to let our feelings flow and find a bit of calm in the storm. These tips are all about giving you the tools to explore and express your feelings through words. Here we go:

1. PEN YOUR OWN PIECES:

No need to be the next Shakespeare to get the soothing vibes of poetry. Just grab a pen and spill your feelings onto the page. Forget about making it rhyme or getting the structure perfect—just let what's inside pour out. It's all about getting to know your emotions a bit better.

2. USE PROMPTS:

Staring at a blank page? Kickstart your creativity with some poetry prompts. They can be anything - a word, a feeling, a nearby object, or a situation that gets your thoughts rolling. It's a nifty way to zero in on what you're really feeling and start exploring from there.

3. SAY IT ALOUD:

Found a poem that hits home? Read it out loud. Hearing the words can make the emotions and rhythms even more powerful, giving you a whole new way to experience the poem. Whether it's a famous poet's work or an anonymous piece that just feels right, give it a voice.

4. CHATTING WITH EMOTIONS:

Picture your emotions as characters and have a chat with them on paper. This fun twist can help you step back and see your feelings from a new angle, making it easier to understand them without getting too caught up.

5. UNSENT LETTERS:

Ever wanted to say something but didn't? Write it out in a letter to a person, a place, or even a part of yourself. It's a powerful way to let go of things, express love, forgiveness, or gratitude, without actually sending the letter.
