About

This series on poetry ✍️✍️ is designed to help you find your voice and create powerful statements. Together, we will explore where to draw inspiration and discover your unique voice 🎤🎤 and style...
...We will also learn how to avoid🚫 clichés and forced rhymes. We will be exploring various poetry forms and, ultimately, learn how to build an online presence.
In this course, we will focus on writing with passion 💪 rather than adhering to strict meter. Thus, we will not be exploring the traditional side of poetry, it will be more about conveying and understanding deeper meanings...
All levels are welcome, as long as you come with an open mind and are ready to learn, share, and interact 🙂🙂
