About Modern Poetry by the author I believe that if you read Michelle L Devon's take on Modern Poetry, you will get the tone and feel of my work in Modern Poetry. "Modern poetry creates a short story, with visual imagery, in a few lines rather than a few pages. Modern poetry touches your heart, by evoking emotion with which you can relate, about things you probably have experienced yourself. The common themes for modern poetry are love and romance, nature, beauty, and loss and grief. These are all things that everyone can relate to, and when written in verse form, with modern language use, a poem or piece of prose can bring about feelings long forgotten, remind of times of strong emotion, or speak of dreams for the future...all in a few lines, instead of pages of story. A good book or a novel makes you think, striking the imagination...poetry and prose makes you feel, striking the emotions. Why not give modern poetry a chance? You can search online for samples or go to your local bookstore and pick up a copy and check it out. You may just be surprised how much you enjoy reading modern poetry!" My poems are easily read stories. They can be read and understood easily by everyone. I tell them of people I know, of myself, of what I imagine took place in other peoples lives, and of how I believe experiences should be. They are real. I hope my eff ort makes for easy reading, enjoyment and emotional attachment to the themes.
