Hi there, everyone!
I'm new to the site and just generally new to poetry.
I've picked up poetry as a means to cope with my depression. Thankfully, though, as the summer had appeared, it seemed to have thawed my generally negative outlook on life.
Poetry certainly played a huge role. Writing down what was in my head made sure that bitter feelings didn't cloud me. Instead of being in my head, they were now on paper.
While this sounds grim, i thought it was worthwhile sharing why i picked up poetry with you guys.
I'm currently working on a novel (I'll definitely share some bits!), but I find poetry to be alot less taxing and even quite relaxing. I've never thought about sharing it and i thought this would be a good place for that.
I hope that i can be a healthy addition to this communty!
