RE: POLL: Do You Like to Write Poetry?
I like poems, though some are difficult to understand. Anyway they are the writer expression maybe not meant to be understood by others.
I also find storytelling poems very enjoyable, I love rhymes, so sometimes felt so inclined to chain on that game with words. But not for a while, I feel blocked in many ways. I like to play but sometimes I let myself get tangled up in rules (all right, I'm a mess haha)
So, yes but it depends on my mood.
I think fables in verses are so lovely.

I loved what you wrote about storytellers. It reminded me of the university "cuentacuentos"; we really enjoyed a seminar on that subject. It requires a certain knowledge and managment of the performing arts.
Playing around with different voices makes for a fun reading experience, too. I enjoy reading aloud. I used to read to my students and my daughter, changing my voice and dramatizing the text in some way. I think it's highly moving to start enjoy reading.
If it comes to poetry there are those without rules. Just a dose of feelings and you are good.
In December we write poems more like rhymes about the "bad" habits of the those you give a gift. I assume that habit will die soon.
Story telling is an art. It is what had to do at primary school and also highschool for our exam Ditch (not the other languages).
This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!

I was curious about that tradition, the Sinterklaas. It's an interesting way to be sincere to others in a creative way, maybe some choose to improve things, maybe some feel mistreated, I don't know.
I wish literature and oral performances (maybe not as a final but continuos evaluation) were given more impulse in our educational system.
Thank you very much for the support 🐱
