AmyChait's profile

I wrote my first poem when I was 11 years old, and since then, writing has become a passion I cannot live without. Writing is not only an art, but a way of life to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. My writing sometimes can be considered prose over poetry. But as Percy Shelley, from the Defence of Poetry, said, “The distinction between poets and prose writers is a vulgar error.” On a side note, when I give critiques, I make it clear it is my opinion. People should not ever correct another individual saying something “is” one thing, and not another. Our beliefs make social truths, so I am firm believer in taking writing, art, with a new lens of perspective and not focusing so much on what poetry should be. I’m just a lover of words.
