Music and Poetry (Blog 13 late)

I love poetry for several reasons. One of those reasons is that poetry can from any type of inspiration  from a first crush to getting ready for college. They tell stories that you really have to think about because sometimes they can be hidden. I've written a few poems a couple years ago. The things that inspired me during that time were volleyball, heartbreak and being proud of the skin I’m in. Those were probably the most important things in my life at the time. I could write poems about those things forever. But as I grew older, my interest in writing faded away.

Another reason I like poetry is that most poems can actually be songs (and vice versa). Now I know that most of the songs we here on the radio would probably not be considered poetry because they talking straight nonsense, but those songs that actually have a message behind them are definitely considered poetry. Most people say that songs are music with lyrics attached and that is somewhat true. I also believe that songs are poetry spoken with music. It sounds a lot better to me. I am absolutely obsessed with music, so I can understand why I like poetry so much.
