I’ve always been a writer and started writing songs when I was fifteen. Now as an [kind of] adult, I love creating poetry because it’s like writing a song, but without the music. I took a creative writing class my senior year of high school and I remember the teacher asking us to read different poems and interpret them.
Literally every time it was my turn to interpret a piece I got it “wrong”. The thing is though, I love poetry because it’s pretty ambiguous. It’s allowed to mean whatever it means to you. Thanks to the internet and Instagram poets and the new “micro poetry” trend, more people are writing poetry and more people are sharing it with others.
You’ve probably heard of J. Iron Word, Yung Pueblo, Rupi Kaur, Morgan Harper Nichols, Courtney Peppernell, and Jennae Cecelia…so in no particular order, I’m sharing 10+ poets on Instagram that you maybe haven’t heard of yet.
