Community of Poetry

So I have a group chat here called Community of Poetry, and I really want to get to know the people in it. I see so many poetry group chats where everyone is just saying “Look at me! Read my poems!” And there isn’t really any connection or even conversation about poetry. So I thought I’d make some questions and tag my group so they can answer them as well. Some are about writing and some are just fun!

When and why did you start writing? I’ve been writing for fun basically since I learned my alphabet, but I didn’t really get into poetry until around 2017. Poetry is definitely a coping mechanism for me, and it helps me get out my thoughts and emotions. I think it’s the most effective way I’ve found to bear it all and be honest.

What do you usually write about/favorite topic to write on? I generally just write about whatever is going on in my life. If I’m in love, I write about love. If I’m depressed, I write about depression. I also write quite a bit about trauma and difficult past events from my life.

Who are some of your favorite poets to read? Olivia Gatwood and Jeffrey McDaniel blow me away with every poem they write. Niel Hilborn and Rachel Wiley definitely impress me to no end as well. Going more classic, I also love some Walt Whitman and Robert Louis Stevenson. Can’t forget about Ted Kooser. There are too many! Sorry.

What types of poems do you write? I’m very very free verse, and I don’t like rhyming. I think that rhyming can take away from the seriousness of a topic.

If you were a chair, what kind of chair would you be? I would be a folding camping chair, but the mini kind for little kids. I absolutely loved those when I was little.

How old are you? I’m 18.

Coffe, tea, or energy drinks? I like to think of myself as a tea girl, but I’ve been drinking coffee lately because I need more caffeine.

What’s your favorite color? Maroons, burgundies, and olive green. I also love grayscale colors.

That’s all the questions I’ll bombard you with. Don’t feel any pressure to do this; I just thought it would be cool to get to know you since we’re reading each others poems. If you want to do this, just make a post and tag me. You can even tag anyone you think would fit well in our group chat. Anyway, no pressure. Keep writing!
