Reading
poetry brings us joy
From colorful words and vibrant verses to vivid imagery and alternative
meanings, poetry inspires us to stretch our imaginations to a greater
understanding of reality and consciousness. Indeed, poetry can enhance
creativity, sense of wonder, and it may even reduce stress and anxiety. We
have made a habit of reading poetry, which motivated us to write a new
collection of poems Home: Where Everyone Is Welcome, inspired by
American immigrants. If you want to calm your mind and still your soul,
make it a practice to read a poem because it will help you pause, reflect, and
possibly experience more happiness.
By comparing the effect of love to diving into the ocean, Koch offers a lively
image that fills our minds and tugs at our hearts. We all know what it feels
like to be in love so fully and completely. And by reading these few lines, we
are transported to an emotional state in which we feel for the poet and what
he’s going through. We feel empathy for him. And compassion helps us build
connections and relationships with other people. These poems about love and
loss are sure to stir up emotions.
We try to see the good in things, the glass as half-full, whatever the situation.
And poetry certainly doesn’t have to be heavy; these funny poems from the
2015 Reader’s Digest Poetry Contest prove that much.
