The Poet 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

2025/1/16 Edited to

... Read morePoetry has been a powerful medium for expressing emotions and connecting with humanity for centuries. In this article, we explore how poets use language, rhythm, and imagery to evoke feelings and engage readers. Whether through classic works or contemporary pieces, poetry reflects our experiences, aspirations, and struggles. Expressions found in poetry can range from love and heartbreak to social issues and personal growth. Notably, poets like Rumi, Maya Angelou, and Pablo Neruda have shaped literary landscapes, offering profound insights into the human condition through their unique styles. Furthermore, the art of poetry encompasses various forms, such as sonnets, haikus, and free verse, each presenting an opportunity for creative expression. Moreover, many find solace and self-discovery within poetry. Writing poetry serves as a therapeutic practice for countless individuals, allowing them to articulate their thoughts and feelings creatively. The process of crafting a poem can also inspire others to reflect on their emotions and experiences, fostering a deeper connection between writer and reader. For those looking to write poetry, consider exploring different styles and forms. Engaging with poetry workshops or reading groups can enhance your skills and provide valuable feedback. Ultimately, poetry continues to evolve, bridging the gap between past and present, encouraging us to explore the diverse tapestry of human experience.

A quote on a light brown background reads, "And one day the girl with the books became the woman writing them."
Two women are shown, one kissing the cheek of the other, who is smiling and wearing glasses and a gold necklace, with string lights in the background.
The title page of a book titled "Gentle Rose (A Book of Poems)" by Naiya Figueroa is displayed, with "Nancy L Hajeski" partially visible.

The Poet Who Fought Slavery
Born free in 1825, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper used poetry and powerful speeches to challenge slavery, racism, and sexism. Long before modern civil rights movements, her words demanded freedom, dignity, and justice and they still resonate today. #fyp #fyplemon #fy #foryou #foryoupage

A black and white portrait of SUGA, looking composed and magnetic, wearing a dark coat over a ruffled white shirt, embodying a quiet prince.
SUGA in a black hoodie, glasses, and a headband, looking thoughtful with light hair, reflecting a calm and composed demeanor.
A close-up of SUGA with light blonde hair, smiling broadly with closed eyes, showcasing his warm and melting 'gummy smile'.
A prince by aura, a poet by heart, and a healer
If SUGA were a prince, he’d be the quiet ruler of hearts — calm, composed, and impossibly magnetic. Dressed in royal hues with a crown that barely outshines his presence, he’d sit on his throne not with arrogance, but with gentle strength. And then… he smiles. That soft, gummy smile — rare like

Therapy’s Curse — The Secret Poet Society
You had to go to therapy To undo loving me, To pull my name out from your chest, And claim a fragile victory. They said my love was venom’s kiss, A fever you must break, A fire that you can’t resist No matter what’s at stake. You practiced ways to breathe alone, Deafened how I say your

Think of Me — by The Secret Poet Society
I hope you think of me When it thunders, when it rains. I hope the way I say your name Still echoes through your veins. I hope you hear my voice Though I’m not even there. I hope my scent drives you mad In ways you cannot bear. I hope you feel the aching void Each time I close your do
