It's a great escape and when you nail poetry you can nail most forms of writing especially short form. I often experiment with new things from time to time.
Poetry has been a a success both in my professional and personal life. It is about emotion in words and using words to bring people along with you on a journey. It's also powerful when planning project management with a focus on community development. My projects are successful because they aren't just a journey of the body but of the mind and the heart also.
