Discovering my Voice

Some people have found their voice, but others haven’t, or just don’t know they have a voice. As for me, I have not found or recognized my voice. Since I don’t write much I don’t know what it could be, and when I do write its for Laura, so you can imagine what voice that is.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. (Aristotle)

Poetic Language

I think that there is not a set definition for poetic language. Everyone has there own meaning of what is poetic language, but for me poetic language can be anything a writer or person decides to say or write. Since poetry is different for one person to another, so is poetic language. It can be the form one writes, style, vocabulary, grammar, diction, and even the actual language being conveyed. Poetic language is used in everyday life which serves as a means of expressing oneself. So it can be defined as ones own unique voice. Just like artists have their forms of understanding their own art work, poetry is the same because poetry is a form of art.
