I think poems can be therapeutic. Poems can get your feelings out through writing. It's another form of art and it can be extremely expressive. Writing symbolist poetry can be difficult, especially if you don't completely understand the concept well. As for my own writing, I did struggle with writing the symbolist poem and I don't think I fully grasped the concept that well. When I write I mostly write in rhymes and to a certain rhythm. A lot of my "poetry" I consider to be songs. I like to write music and when I do write I write from past experiences or something I'm going through or have gone through recently. It's hard for me to write in a certain way or with a certain thing that I am unfamiliar with because I believe my best work comes from things I know well.

This type of art is the most raw, the artist puts intense feelings out for the public eye to see, they are vulnerable. This applies in all forms of art, and can be applied to poetry as well. If the artist is passionate about their subject matter they make better work, and it shows. Readers will feel if an artist isn’t giving their all. When it comes to understanding meaning, I would say look over a piece for at least 3-5 minutes and point out the obvious things. For me, some of the best art doesn’t reveal it’s intention right away, and isn’t obvious at fir...
