World Poetry Day: The Healing Power of Words

In celebration of both the start of spring and National Poetry Day, we’re excited to share some beautiful spring-inspired poems from our creative writing group.

Poetry isn’t just about writing pretty words—it’s a powerful tool for mental health. For many, writing poetry is a way to express emotions that are hard to say out loud. It helps us process our feelings, release stress, and make sense of what’s going on in our heads.

The beauty of poetry is that it doesn’t have to be perfect or follow any rules. It’s about getting your thoughts down on paper in a way that feels good for you. This simple act can help clear your mind and make tough emotions feel a bit lighter.

Poetry also connects us. Whether we’re writing or reading someone else’s work, we realize we’re not alone in our struggles. We’re all feeling similar things, and poetry gives us a way to share those feelings.
