Day #36 - Reading and writing or translating poetry

Reading poems can be interesting, but first you have to find a right poem. Not too complicated, not too boring, a poem which can relate to you. If you add some emotions, and poetry actually is created with emotions, you can more deeply experience the language and this is what it’s all about, isn’t it?

Finding simple rhymes or read poetry is one but write a poem is something quite different. Of course it’s more complicated but can bring you a lot of fun too. Sometimes it’s worth to try. What can you lose? Discover that you have a talent?

A few years ago I discovered a very interesting online poetry service. I used it in Polish, but I’ve just realized that it’s also good for English.

eMultipoetry (http://www.emultipoetry.eu/en/main/) is an excellent place for finding something for reading, for writing your own poems and for translating poems.

Here is an interesting example of a poem written in English. Something for young people:
