There is something about poetry that has the ability to touch our hearts and souls in a way that no other form of writing can.
Nick Gillespie talks about the healing power of poetry. He encourages readers to start writing poetry. Gillespie: You're going to feel something while you're doing it, and it's going to lead to some healing.
Hi, folks. How you doing? Nick, the poet here. And I wanted to talk about the healing power of poetry. So poetry is something that has helped me in my life over and over and over again. When I was going through, you know, mental health and addiction issues, that poetry, I would just write it. It would flow. I would get those thoughts out about how I was feeling inside, and I could express that in a way that I couldn't otherwise. And so I just encourage you to begin writing poetry. And anything worth doing, I believe, is worth doing badly.
We don't need to be William Shakespeare. We don't need to be William Wordsworth. We don't need to be any of the Williams. We just need to be ourself, and we need to get those thoughts out on paper. So I encourage you to just sit down and write a poem and see what happens, and please let me know how it goes and then share that poem with me. Let's start writing poetry together. Let's heal. And I guarantee that you're going to feel something while you're doing it, and it's going to lead to some healing for you.
So let's go. Here we go.
