Some of the greatest poet writers off all times have had much adversity in their lives. Perhaps it is this adversity, which helps them see the world differently and makes them take stock of themselves and their surroundings?
They say that when people are threatened with a life-threatening illness that often they begin to appreciate life more and the little things such as the smell of a flower or just simply looking at the stars. It is those times of life that perhaps the greatest poetry of all times has been written.
Many a poet in love will write fantastic poetry. Likewise many people experiencing the ultimate adversity or challenges will come up with some of the greatest artwork in poetry ever written. During the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season we saw regions of the United States of America, which were devastated and destroyed by major category hurricanes and many people lost everything or were forced due to mandatory evacuation to leave the areas where they lived and loved.
If you are considering writing some poetry and are forced to evacuate from your city perhaps this might be a chance for you to do so. After all what else are you going to do while you are stuck in traffic for 15 hours trying to get out of the city or state? You may as well take with you a notepad and a pen and start jotting down your thoughts. Please consider this in 2006.
