Poetry

Some people believe poetry stands for Pain Of Every Type Ruining You. Not all poetry is evil and boring. I like poetry, it can be exciting. Poetry is a release of all your sufferings and heartaches. It can be a spiritualy uplifting experience to release built up emotions. Poetry isn't just the old, boring, watered down bull crap you are used to. Poetry is modern and intruiging in every aspect. If your thinking of a dark coffee shop where goons who want to get on stage and bear their soul to the beat of a drum, your right and wrong. Coffee shop readings are still around but there is also slam poetry. People are picked by random and come on stage to express their every emotion. You can read slam poetry in anyway you like (fast, slow, in different languages, in different tones, your body language can also attribute to how you perform),their is no topic. You can talk of your struggles, your weaknesses, your day-day life or anything you can possibly think of. My perspective on poetry is slighty altered. Poetry is like music, the olden day music bores me and modern day music is fun to listen to. I like the newer poetry, but the older poetry puts me to sleep. Poetry can be fun depending on how you look at it.
