What is poetry to you?

What is poetry to you? What have you learned from writing it?

Poetry to me is when someone wants to express something at a certain time, of what they feel or someone else feels. Poetry can be almost anything, to a love letter, a farewell card, or a thought process of comprehending the universe of everything. 

One of the things that I've noticed is that poetry needs a strong passion or feeling to write with. Sometimes there's a clear idea of what's at the end, or perhaps something blurred to keep you thinking.

Educational Expecations

How can you, as the manager of your own education, ensure that school assignments meet your needs? Is there are way to meet the instructor's expectations, while also following your own interests?

Time management is an important skill to have, to be able to have the time set aside to work on assignments. You can add your own relevant twist whilst meeting the instructor's expectations. Using as Writer's craft as an example, you can write about certain subjects or themes that you like or enjoy and apply them to the course work. 

Quote on writing

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway is a American author and journalist. He wrote in a economical and underhanded style that had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, and his public image also influenced later generations as well.


“A writer should write what he has to say and not speak it.”
― Ernest Hemingway


This quotation holds a skill that I've wanted to do for awhile since I started writing as a odd hobby of mine. To be able to write without the need to explain  to those reading, is how I see this. I often have to explain things, even to myself sometimes, to understand most of the things I write.
