Why Poetry Matters

YOU’VE BEEN SINGING IT ALL ALONG

You don’t have to call yourself a poetry lover to connect with it. In fact, many people who say they “don’t do poetry” already do, just not on the page.

Think about it: you’re driving, or walking, or sitting on the bus. A song comes on. The lyrics kick in, and suddenly you’re singing along, perhaps because it’s catchy, but maybe because it's it’s true, it's you!. It captures something you’ve felt or are feeling deeply. That’s poetry, just set to music.

FIGURING IT OUT

I think that happens a lot when we're younger and still shaping our identities. Music becomes a mirror and a compass, helping us make sense of our feelings. Lyrics that capture confusion, rebellion, heartbreak, or hope feel like they get it when no one else does.

The teenage brain is wired for emotional highs and lows, and music taps directly into that. A lyric doesn’t need to be complex; if it feels honest, it lands. Plus songs don’t ask questions. They don’t interrupt. They don’t require eye contact. For a teenager navigating anything from anxiety, loneliness, crushes, conflict, or self-doubt, lyrics can feel like a private lifeline, as sort of permission to feel without judgement.

THAT'S WHY POETRY STILL MATTERS

But I digress, so why does poetry on paper feel different to song lyrics?

For many, it goes back to school. Not just the pressure to analyse every line, but the poems themselves. In my day at least, the ones we studied were by celebrated poets, but they often felt worlds apart. Formal, stiff, old-fashioned. We were teenagers trying to make sense of real emotions, and here we were, picking apart Victorian metaphors or war poetry in language that didn’t feel like ours.

It’s no wonder so many of us walked away thinking poetry wasn’t for us, that it belonged in exam halls and dusty textbooks, not in everyday life.

But poetry, in its true form, doesn’t need to be decoded. It’s not about impressing or understanding everything on the first read. It’s about recognising something. a feeling, a moment, a memory, and thinking, 'Yes, that’s it!'.

GROWING INTO POETRY

As adults we often grow into poetry without realising it. We start to recognise what poetry actually offers. We’ve lived more. We’ve felt more. And with that comes a deeper understanding of the moments, the hard-to-name feelings, and the in-between spaces that poetry so often captures.

Modern poetry rarely asks for acaedemic interpretation. It asks for presence. It speaks in everyday language, with emotional honesty, and creates space for reflection. A single line or a full piece might feel like it was written with your day in mind.

POETRY THAT FEELS LIKE A PAUSE

That’s exactly what Creative Bubbles taps into. Each piece of illustrated poetry is an invitation to take a break, sink into a comfortable seat and lose yourself in the poems. Maybe you'll see yourself reflected in a line or an image. It’s about feeling something real. The illustration draws you in, the words offer something to hold, or maybe it's the poem that draws you in and the illustration that offers a little plus.

I know artist hate this question, but you are so chill so I was like ,,Let's give it a shot": Do you have any tips about learning art?

Things like shading and wrinkles would be especially nice, I overthink about this thinks too much and it keeps blocking me from the progress and I stuck in the same place for like 5 years with it plz I begging you the way you draw wrinkles is very yummy

i actually dont know why artists hate this question 😭😭 same w getting asked about brushes . i mean they probs have a reason but idk what it is LOL . im gen flattered u think my art is good enough to ask for advice LOLLLLL but heres a guide ! ill js do shading and wrinkles .. i have another post in drafts abt how i study art in general LOL

if theres one thing to take away from this its copy lots and lots and lots of pictures and everntually itll start making sense. almost everything i do in my life is by way of brute force including art LOL.

again . this is just how i do things PERSONALLY. so take it w a grain of salt . it might not work for you . and thats fine . youll figure out smth that works eventually . BUT i hope it helps regardless.

i totally understand the struggle with being stuck and overthinking LOL ultimately you really js have to embrace the fuck it we ball mindset i fear . if you keep staying scared of making bad art youre doomed to forever make bad art . youll never improve.

"theres no such thing as bad art" has never helped me personally bc i dont actually give a shit if theres no such thing as bad art . if i think my art is bad then i think its bad . saying that bad art doesnt exist doesnt change anything at all . the way i think about it is "ok. my art is bad yes. and thats too bad. but i can improve even just by 0.01% if i do a study . so im gonna do that" . so every time i feel bad about my art i do a study . and ultimately all of those individual studies add up and thats probably why my art level is at the level it is today . 😭😭

u got this man . art isnt easy at all but its rewarding and most importantly it is Fun . if u improve enough to the point that u dont constantly hate ur art then art becomes the most fun thing in the world . thats why i draw so much . it feels like doing a line of coke . instant dopamine hit
