Why do you like to write poetry?

Lexi Duarte: “Poetry is a beautiful way of sharing feelings and emotions. It has this amazing way of bringing people together just by reading it aloud, even when you’re scared to share it. It is kind, compassionate, vulnerable, scary, fun, loving, and sad. Poetry can be anything.”
