"No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrancy of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language.” -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poetry…
Unleashes creativity
Improves grammar and spelling
Increases reading comprehension & enjoyment
Develops communication and organizational techniques
Trains writers to be more succinct, charged, and compelling
Helps to sort out and process overwhelming thoughts and emotions
Leads to powerful connections with other minds, cultures and generations
Becomes the most honest and beautiful journal entries you’ll ever read
Invites the most satisfying dinner conversations you’ll ever entertain
Is a fun and addictive brain-building tool for writers of all ages
Can capture an entire generation or era with a single line
Conveys history more accurately than a textbook
Is the stuff of treasured family heirlooms
Improves public speaking skills
Has rules, but no bounds
Is a form of therapy
& a safe escape.
