Poetry

Poetry is for everyone.

Yesterday, I blogged about how dreams go way back to ancient times. Poetry too has been around. Some of the earliest written poems we have are religious hymns and epic tales. The Epic of Gilgamesh, from Mesopotamia, is one of the oldest surviving poems, dating back to around 2750 BC. Poetry is how we explain our dreams. Poetry is how we hand down lessons and the feeling that cultural events give us in the moment. It’s one snapshot among a million but it’s one more perspective.

“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” – Robert Frost

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
