This is going to blow you away when you find out the truth about poetry; how easy it is to write if you will just simply be true to your emotions.

The famous poet Robert Frost said; “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” 

Another famous poet William Wordsworth called poetry "the spontaneous overflow of feelings." You see, it's all about putting feelings into words; carefully chosen words that reflect you truest emotions.

When writing; the writer must capture emotions experienced in a significant moments or event, it may be untouched memories lying just below our consciousness, hidden from public scrutiny that which we try to hide even from ourselves. Let them flow freely with every word and gesture. We all have this abundance of raw material for writing if we could just harness it.
