Poetry Background

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I hear people say "I don't like poetry." It is honestly the worst four words you could say in my presence. I understand that people have the right to their own opinions, but poetry is seriously one of those things I think people don't like because they simply don't understand it. I am so passionate about poetry and I want to help make others just as passionate. I really feel like it is one of those things that once you get started doing it is hard to stop.

There are many different forms of poetry, some fancier than others, which makes it easier to find that one type you can connect with and enjoy. Hopefully you can find more than one type, but to each his own. The history of how poetry came to be what it is today genuinely fascinates me. From works like "The Odyssey" to Shakespeare or nursery rhymes, really shows how diverse poems can be. Throughout this blog I will discuss different kinds of poetry, the history and random poetry facts.
