Dear Lovestar,

You know I’m a poetry fanatic. Today, I will give all (but including me) some ideas to include more poetry in our lives. I will be doing some of these.

But first, my newest poem:

"It Starts"

It starts with a kiss
Or the soft breeze 
Brings me a piece 
Of you.
Or it starts with a look,
Or a page in a book 
Reminds me of you.
It starts with a thought.
Sometimes mine,
Sometimes yours
Mostly both
Simultaneously.
It starts with a kiss
And the progress is quick
Until we're on our sheets
Making Love.

Activities to include poetry in

**Homeschool**: I love homeschooling (my children also have tutors) and use poetry for their lessons. I studied a lot of poetry, and I want to at least introduce my children to this magic. My oldest daughter has a great writing tutor (Dr. Anthony Radice) who has a poetry study class, and I’m convincing her to take it. Currently, I’m creating a Cleopatra lesson that I’ve been working on for about one week. I’m designing it to be an inmersive experience rather than a normal class, so I’m creating 2 board games, and I have integrated visualization exercises throughout the lessons and now I’m writing a poem for Cleopatra. Cleopatra was cool. She liked poetry! It’s the least I could do for the most powerful woman in history.

**Leisure Time**: Relaxing on a hammock with a poetry book or even reading poetry online 😀 and some snacks 😋 😀 is the perfect evening of weekend activity. I read poetry every day. I write poetry most days.

**Relaxation**: Weekends offer a break from the hustle and bustle of the workweek, making it an ideal time for leisurely pursuits such as reading poetry. Few things can be as relaxing. My tip is to save poems that are relaxing to you. Reminder that you can download most of my poems on my poetry collection, though this link totally free.

**Inspiration**: Whenever I find an inspirational poem, I save it. An inspiration poem is a great and very easy to use tool for inspiration.

**Personal Rituals**: Some individuals may have personal rituals or routines that involve reading poetry on weekends, such as enjoying a cup of tea while delving into a collection of poems.

**Spiritual Rituals**: Have you noticed how spells rhyme? It’s because there’s a secret power to rhyming and poetry. Including poetry and rhyming into our spiritual rituals makes sense.

**Nature and Inspiration**: Outdoor activities and nature walks can inspire creativity and appreciation for poetry. I write poetry at the park. Reading good poetry at the park would be awesome, too.

**Poetry in therapy**: Use poetry as a therapeutic tool for self-expression and reflection in counseling or support groups or personal reflections.

**Journaling**: It not only looks good on your journal, remember, there’s a secret power in poetry. If you don’t write poetry, simply write on your journal favorite poems or excerpts of poetry that speak to you or make you feel a desired way.

**Arts and Crafts**: Another use for poetry where it just makes sense. Practice your calligraphy, create artwork for your wall of a poem, dedication cards, use a printed poem as background for any art form, create mixed media art including a printed poem… the possibilities are endless. Please leave me a comment with additional ideas to include in this list.

**Romance**: What are poets most know for? Being romantics. Poems can offer insight, advice, inspiration, or a new energy that could potentially enhance your love life. I use my poetry 💯 percent to manifest the dream union I have today. But even before I fell in love, I loved to indulge in the sweet energy of a romantic poem.

**Learning a new language **: When you learn a new language, you study a lot of boring stuff. I’m suggesting you should study something fun like the poetry and/ or music I’m that language. It’ll be much more fun and it’ll help with learning about the culture, too.
