Why Poetry?

 

I really don't know. The first time it ever happened was at the age of 19 just after I started University when I fell truly, madly, deeply for someone, that at the time seemed unobtainable. It really did feel like my choices at the time were; kill myself or write this!:

 

SOLITUDE.

 

Whenever I have ever written any one of these poems, it has always felt as if I am so full up of emotions and/or thoughts inside that something has to spill. It tends to happen in one sitting and it can't be stopped!
