​What Is Poetry To Me?

2/9/2020

0 Comments

 
(Prompted by a question
Mary Reynolds Thompson
asked on her website. She asked readers 
​what poetry meant to them.)
 
Poetry to me is the sacred language
of the heart and soul.
It is the raw, uncensored, deep thoughts,
experiences, senses,
that come from my inner core.
It is the magical part of the mundane.
It is the description of the things
not everyone sees and talks about.
It is the connection to God, the universe,
the moon and stars and everything in between.
It is the flowers of the spoken world
collected into a colourful bouquet.
It is the flow of consciousness
sometimes emerging from the unconscious,
revealing the unknown. 
It is the life force pouring out
and transforming into words
that are an invitation to connect us
in a meaningful, sacred and supportive way.

Meet Teri Petz, Poet, Author,
​Open Mic Poetry Host, MC.
Teri Petz wears many hats and has even more interests. She was fascinated by poetry since she was a little girl, before she could read. In school she realized that writing was easy for her and she had a natural flow when she wrote. Being a nature child (woman) she likes to take long walks and explore the rivers, lakes, mountains and the Canadian Prairies. She is often inspired to write and in those moments and she says the Muse has bitten her.
 
In 2020 Teri self published her poetry book, “A Piece Of Her Heart”. The book is available on Kobo and Amazon. 
 
She participates in a small women’s poetry group led by Cat Charissage monthly. Teri organizes and is the MC of Owl Poetry, an open mic event held monthly at the Owl Acoustic Lounge in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

She is the co-producer of Owl Poetry, a series of Open Mic Poetry Videos for the Community Channel of Shaw Spotlight. ​
 
She is involved in Photography, Videography and creates home décor products to keep the creative juices flowing and loves to write poetry. She considers poetry to be the language of the heart.
