One of my favorite classes in High School was POETRY. I loved it, and then I left it. I didn’t look back until this year. It’s been a weird year. Lots of turning inside for me, and it’s quite interesting what I’m finding.
Poem are powerful. They do things to the heart and mind. I’ve started sharing a poem on Sundays on my Instagram stories, which has gotten me looking up more poems, which has gotten me wanting to learn more poems. And dare I say it, WRITE some poems myself. Here’s one of my first attempts at Poetry since the ninth grade:
I hope y’all catch the poetry bug! I hope you’ll share with me what you find and what you write!
xo, Mary
p.s. A few good articles talking about the benefits of memorizing and learning poetry.
