Poetry!

I believe poetry has stayed popular over the years because people are always going to want to express themselves. Whether it be in a diary, poem, story, blog or song. When people express these feelings they always want to make them more interesting, so they add elements of poetry like rhyme, rhythym and personification. I believe the most popular forms of poetry today are in song lyrics because I doubt whether you could find anyone that doesn't listen to music. Most people would listen to the radio or CD's on a daily basis. I think poetry takes ordinary stories and expressions and makes them interestying for the readers. For example one of the most popular fields of music these days is rap which is just rhyming words and rhyming words are an element of poetry. Good poetry is susually catchy and stays in our minds. Ispiring poems usually appeal greatly to people as they read them and they feel a change in themselves and their minds go crazy with different thoughts. I mainly enjoy the poetry in song lyrics, in particular rap. These lyrics are extremely catchy and stay in your mind.

One poem that always sticks in my mind is the poem on the back of the toilet door at my Grandparent's house. As there is not much else to do while on the toilet, I always read it. I'm not sure who wrote it but it was entitled "Life is a Flower." There reason it always stick in my mind is because I read it so many times. The poem has six line stanzas and four versus and talks about all the inspiring parts of life and how life is a gift from God.
