Julia Alvarez described writing poetry as "cutting edge" and "magical". It is a form where each word is carefully crafted and carries intense meaning. Poems are often lyrical/musical. These are reasons why I enjoy reading and writing poetry.
The ocean roared and beaconed me,
but all I wanted
was for it to swallow me.
I begged and pleaded,
but it would not abandon me.
All that energy,
all that strength
to keep this tired soul afloat,
when it could have been
channeled into a worthier soul.
I continued to head
into the opposing currents,
convinced it was my destination.
Time ticked on,
and I awoke to find
the sandy shores
I never believed
were destined for me.
As I stood and glanced around,
at last I felt I belonged.
