Poetry used to be my worst nightmare, now it is one of my favorite pastimes. If you open your mind to the possibility of appreciating poetry, it may become yours too! Delving into poems is so amazing because the poem could have been written in the early 1900’s or in 2017, yet still be relatable. Finding the words to explain how you feel is difficult, but poetry can guide you to the words that help you understand exactly how you feel! This is a list of poems that have spoken to me, ranging from Rupi Kaur to Ernest Hemingway.
