The playful and artistic arrangement of words enticed me into its world. A few weeks after first reading poetry in class I decided to try writing a poem. Despite it being basic, I got a sense of satisfaction from it. I soon joined a website where other amateur poets could share their work to be praised and criticised. I continued to write and publish my work to that site for just over 4 years now.
Through those 4 years I honed my writing skills and fed my hunger to write as regularly as possible. Over this time I developed not only an appreciation for all forms of poetry, but also an ability to convey my emotion through my work to the readers on a personal level.
Not only has poetry become a passion in my life, it has helped me deal with the various upsets in my life in a productive way, that helps me to not look back on certain events in a bad light. For me that makes my writing priceless.
Outside of the world of poetry, I come from Cambridge, but have moved to Aberystwyth to study Microbiology at university. Despite the 5 hour train drive back, I still head home as often as possible to spend time with my family. In my spare time I like to hang out with my friends, keep fit or kick back with a book listening to some music.view less
