Express yourself and try to write your own poetry. You will be surprised at what you discover. First read some great poets, such as, Shakespeare, Byron, Keats, Shelly, Edgar Alan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Two of my favorite poems include "A Dream within a Dream," by Edgar Alan Poe, and "A Psalm of Life," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Poetry opens the soul and allows you to express pent-up feelings and life experiences - go for it
