Everything is very individual. And I am not an exception. I think it takes us long enough to gain the experience in life, but it takes us a moment to grow up. People Continue reading...

The subway was crowded, but no one looked my way; I was invisible and hidden to the general public, and no one wanted to watch or help.

Music and poetry have existed alongside each other for many years. The question of whether poetry is improved by music is an interesting one. People who do not enjoy traditional poetry often find that they have a passion for music with lyrics.

Nevertheless, as there are many types of music there are also many types of poetry. Some poetry can be complemented and enhanced by music. Other types of poetry, however, are unlikely to work with music. Whether poetry is improved by music depends on the type of poetry.
