The answer is yes.
When you write, whether it's prose or poetry, you allow your feelings to flow on a notepad/word, on paper, or in modern times via pen/keyboard. You make out what you have observed about the world, nature, the universe and people, or leaves, flowers, creatures, objects.
When you are writing for the first time you might be a little hesitant in terms of confidence and feedback, your work will get if shared. If just keep it to yourself, and you read and feel about it, mission accomplished! If you share and get a great response, bravo, and if not, don't worry because you previously wrote this for yourself or your collection, and if you yourself appreciate it and own it. So the work is done.
Expressing is easy and difficult, simple and complex. We fumble with words when trying to speak, so we have two options, either to keep it to ourselves and live a life of recluse, or to put it in words.
More than addiction, it is obsession, because once you get started with it, you know what to do whenever an overwhelming emotion overwhelms you. You know what to do when your heart is broken. You know what to do when your mind is confused. You know what to do when you are in a state of bliss.
You know how to give beautiful shape to your words. You know how to play with them because you own them and skillfully decorate them on paper.
You learn to admire people within the same circle. You appreciate his work more and better understand what happens when the poet writes his thoughts as words wrapped around love or hatred, hope or pain, an expression of concern, or an expression of an idea. it happens.
Writing poetry is much more than an addiction, it's like living a life you've never lived before, feeling something you've never felt before, hoping for a better world that's impossible in real time Sounds like that, but you've made it achievable by making one!
