Heartfelt Poetry And Words From The Soul

By Janelle Burnett


Writing sentimental messages seems to be going the way of the eight track tape cassette but the opposite is truth. Mobile devices of today hardly seem like the right instruments to communicate a message that may be of great feeling or substance but this is minor. The use of heartfelt poetry is an art that never dies.

Communicating the right words does not have to be romantic or sentimental but the words chosen should reflect the personality of the sender. Many of us have heard of great poets and wonder how much of those word are really from the heart. Then when we get a look at their past lives, we realize that the words are real.

Then again, it can be sad poetry or poems used for a somber occasion that tug at many heartstrings. This is especially true when it is read at a funeral or occasion of remembrance. Using metaphors can create a vivid picture for those who did not know the person being honored.

Many styles of poetry have had an impact on a culture when it comes to conveying messages. The beat movement, which has been around for about half of a century, is not a trend but a movement that combines art and jazz, sometimes with a coffee shop as a background setting. Performers would get on a small stage to express themselves before an audience looking to be enlightened.

Some of the messages were social, political or a combination of both. While this may come and go with each generation, one cannot deny its impact on the youth as well as those who emerged from previous generations of the beat culture. Many of these poets went on to be recognized in the mainstream and some of the performers perform on stage until they are physically unable to do so.

Poetry that is romantic in nature also has its place in society and can generate a profit. Some poets who specialize in this genre may find freelance or salaried work writing for gift companies or book publishers. Other places to find work is in songwriting where the pay can be great when a song is played on the radio often but there is a lot of competition to get in this line of work.

There are online formats that allow for the publishing of poems in a number of styles and lengths. While this form of writing is not as lucrative as writing business, teaching, or marketing articles, there is a demand for this type of prose. Some websites have places for aspiring poets to perfect their craft as these can range from lessons to receiving critiques from the general audience.

The world of poetry is a complex one as it can touch many but does not bring many monetary returns. Every once in a while, a celebrity poet emerges from obscurity to move the world with their words and possibly a life story that some may find intriguing. For those who wish to experience the same level of success, they should continue to work and polish their heartfelt poetry while learning about ways to earn an income.
