Why poetry? You might as well ask, Why chocolate?

Poetry for life

I need joy like I need chocolate. Apart from the gifts of the bean, poetry is what brings me joy.

It also makes me a better writer.

Join me at Poetry for life for a dip into poetry each week. I’ll share my thoughts on a poem and invite you to read along and journal through it. Often I’ll share a poem of my own.

When your writing feels stuck, when you can't write or when you really Can't Write, poetry can be a side door — maybe even a window left cracked open just enough for you to find your way back to words

Poetry for life posts Wednesdays, and sometimes on extra days too. Pencils up!
