How Many Poems Are In You?

The authors of PoemsBox have written thousands of poems. What began as a simple way of expressing one’s feelings and thoughts at the tender age of twelve has grown into a huge collection of thousands of poems, captured in notebooks and word processing software over many decades.

It will likely take us quite a long time to type and edit these poems we have written, which is why we’re also writing articles for this site. We don’t want a brand new site to have no content while we tackle on a project that could likely take several weeks, months, or even a few years to accomplish!

Something we have noticed about those who like to write and read poetry is that there simply is never an end to the love for poems. We think in poetry. It is not surprising when building this site, we naturally had to choose the blogging platform and powerful CMS Wordpress, who on their website has the words “Code is Poetry”. They are speaking of html and php language, but in a way, they are right in more ways of looking at it than simply just the combination of codes and words.

There is poetry in every single thing we do. Every course of action and every situation is an opportunity for poems to be written. Those who love reading and writing and have a special place in their hearts for poems know that there is no end to the thoughts and the words that come together in a beautiful landscape.

A lot of people believe that writing poetry is difficult. Chances are, if you believe this, you are trying too hard. If you are concerned and worried about how many stanzas you have and whether the words rhyme or even if what you’re writing about makes sense – then you are trying too hard.

When it comes to poetic terms and being a poet, you don’t have to make sense. You don’t have to make style a priority or conform to a certain design and formula to get your point across. You may not even need to have a point. Everything you talk about and put onto pen and paper (or in our case, uploaded to our webhost and MySQL server) becomes a beautiful language open to interpretation. Some of the best poets out there are still undiscovered. Some of them may not even have written a single a word down.

Everyone has the power to be inspired and to inspire others. The question is not whether there is a poet in you – but how many poems are in you.
