Poetry in Color

I started writing poetry in my early forties. When I was younger I was much shier in my writings and never would have imagined I would someday write my own poems. I used to read a lot of poetry mostly the Romanian classics like Mihai Eminescu George Cosbuc Topirceanu Alexandri the French poets Baudelaire La Fontaine or the likes of Pablo Neruda whom I later discovered. My poetry is inspired by life yet just like the classics when I write I like to let my imagination go and pretend that I am composing a fi ctional piece. This is why sometimes even the rhythm changes not only the rhyme of each verse within the poem. I have a poetic nature and I am drawn to metaphors but I can also use description to depict a story in the most honest direct way while allowing for the poetical value to be revealed within the content of the whole poem. I do not like to be constrained in any way and my poetry is generally free verse with some rhyme. I get my inspiration from love spirituality or politics.
