Why write Poetry – Hanaz Writers Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 18

In this lively and thoughtful episode, Charlotte, a Year 2 teacher based in London, explores the enchanting world of poetry. Timed perfectly for National Poetry Month, this podcast reflects on what makes poetry unique and why people are drawn to writing it. Charlotte opens with a playful poem by Eve Merriam, “Catch a Little Rhyme,” and explains how rhyme, rhythm and sound bring poems to life. She draws connections between modern-day rappers, singer-songwriters, and ancient bards, showing that poetry has always been a creative way to tell stories and share emotions. Whether it's a fun rhyme or a powerful epic, poems offer a voice to feelings, thoughts, and imagination. If you’ve ever wondered what makes poetry different from stories or how to get started, this episode is a perfect introduction. 📌 Don’t miss it—listen now on Spotify or YouTube and immerse yourself in the joy of poetic expression.
