Join me in celebrating National Poetry month this April.

Embracing Creativity: How National Poetry Month Inspires Us

I’m so happy that Medium is highlighting some of the amazing poetry we see across Medium everyday.

At fifteen, I fell in love with poetry. For me, it was a way to code and talk about my thoughts on the real things happening around me — without anyone finding out what those thoughts were! It was sort of like a coded diary for my life at the time.

The poems I wrote during this time, grew into the first collection of poems I published in my book “Through My Eyes”.

With perfect timing to coincide with National Poetry Month, I’m so freaking excited to announce that Medium has now added me as a verified author!!

I still write poetry. It’s become the natural language of how my heart expresses emotions like sorrow.

I’ve also met some other fellow poets here on Medium, like my friend Bonnie L. Boucek. She is currently involved in a creative writing project where she is writing a haiku a day! It’s been so fun following her series of poems. She is a boundless energy of creativity and I enjoy her friendship so much.

So, in celebration of National Poetry Month and the amazing community of poets on Medium, I invite you to join us on this creative journey. Dive into the world of poetry, embrace its power to express emotions, and let your heart speak in verse.
