"Poetry"

Poetry is an art where people can express what's on their mind through writing. Some people may say that it's boring; but there are also people who find it very interesting; it became more interesting when spoken. Are you familiar of spoken word poetry?

One of the famous poets in this industry is Juan Miguel Severo. The first piece I have heard from him is "Ang Huling Tula na Isusulat Ko Para Sa'yo". This poem is about the words a guy has for a girl who just have taken him for granted. The piece is very touching. It has the perfect selection and combination of words that really made my heart feels like I am also part of his sadness.

Spoken word poetry, for me, is really good. Writers can express what they want the people to hear. A poet can say what he feels for someone indirectly through his poems. It's not only about love or heartbreaks; it can be about the country, for the country; everything that will give a big impact to the people; something that can encourage and motivate them. Also, it is also good for listeners because in today's generation, we always want to relate ourselves to anything; whatever our ears hear, and our eyes see; we always want to feel like we are into it. For me, if someone has heard of spoken word poetry, whatever his emotion is, he may feel like he's not alone. He is with the speaker, enduring the same burden, or enjoying the same happiness.
