The Power of Poetry
The unopened poetry newsletter

Has the power to change me. It is gentle and firm, like rain that can wash away old stains. Or even sit and sit like a thirsty man at the edge of a mirage waiting for his cup of water to be filled. These words will mist into the air, but they will not dissipate — these words will come back to us. The unopened poetry newsletter was shaping something inside me, something I had never felt before: determination or strength or self-respect — or all three? All three are brought together as one great force of nature! So the first thing I knew about this poem was that its author wanted it to matter, to change the world. So it did. The unopened poetry newsletter was a note in a bottle thrown out to sea. It was the sail of a ship destined never to come home again. It was a message in a bottle, and the bottle will never be found, but the words will live forever.

Thanks to all The Poets of The Power of Poetry for great verses.
Poetry is everywhere 💚 But the question is, how much do you love it?
Human beings are drawn to poetry for many reasons: the lines and cadences and words’ intensity. But it’s not just about aesthetic appeal, which is why we love it. We’ve found that poetry is powerful because, in a way, words can tell so much emotion without needing to be spoken out loud. They’re able to touch people in a way that no other medium has been able to match. And that’s your chance — you have the power and privilege of making someone feel something through your words. But, of course, your poetry will be read by millions, and that means that you’re going to have to work hard to make it stand out. Here’s how you can improve at writing.
