Heartfelt Poetry And Words From The Soul

By Janelle Burnett


It would seem that putting feelings into words is about to be extinct but this is hardly the case. Text messaging only leaves so much to the imagination when it comes to sentiments. Heartfelt poetry can be used to lift spirits and bring a sense of hope.

Communicating the right words does not have to entail romantic feelings but the mindset of the writer and the subject. Many who are familiar with famous poets may wonder where there inspiration came from. Then when we read about their lives and the experiences they had growing up, it is not hard to assume that this may have had an impact on the words they write.

Then again, it can be sad poetry or poems used for a somber occasion that tug at many heartstrings. This is especially true when it is read at a funeral or occasion of remembrance. Using metaphors can create a vivid picture for those who did not know the person being honored.

Many styles of poetry have had an impact on a culture when it comes to conveying messages. The beat movement, which has been around for about half of a century, is not a trend but a movement that combines art and jazz, sometimes with a coffee shop as a background setting. Performers would get on a small stage to express themselves before an audience looking to be enlightened.

Some of the messages were social, political or a combination of both. While this may come and go with each generation, one cannot deny its impact on the youth as well as those who emerged from previous generations of the beat culture. Many of these poets went on to be recognized in the mainstream and some of the performers perform on stage until they are physically unable to do so.

Poetry that is romantic in nature also has its place in society and can generate a profit. Some poets who specialize in this genre may find freelance or salaried work writing for gift companies or book publishers. Other places to find work is in songwriting where the pay can be great when a song is played on the radio often but there is a lot of competition to get in this line of work.

Poetry websites are also growing in popularity. This can also be a stepping stone to being published for pay, even though the pay is low compared to writing business or teaching articles. Some sites also offer resources that allow an aspiring poet to improve their style with critiques from others or in the form of tutorials.

The world of poems is a complicated one as it can present rewards but money is not necessarily one of them. Sometimes a superstar poet may seem to come out of obscurity and have a great impact on the world with their use of words. People looking to get rich or become popular, should continue to work at writing heartfelt poetry often and with persistence, they may find a great way to make a living.
