Hello friends! I have taken up an interest in songwriting and I love poetry. I am so enamored with wordplay and the ability to change a sentence from “I love you” to “I thank the God above and whatever powers that be in this world that out of the billions of people on this planet and the trillions of stars in our galaxy, I have had the privilege of my life being touched by the embodiment of love itself and the most glorious light that exists in the universe in your eyes when I meet your gaze.”
I’m just not very good at it without a lot of thought and I would love to have a more robust vocabulary in everyday life and in creative writing efforts. The answer of course is to read more! So I would love to hear any recommendations you all may have for books and pieces of work that have some flowery language I guess or poetic sentence structure. Thanks a bunch!!
