1. What inspired you to start writing poetry?

Ever since I was young, I’ve always been fascinated by how poets play with words. I loved how a simple set of words could mean so many different things depending on how they were arranged. I felt the same way about lyricists and songwriters. I was amazed by how they could find the perfect words, make them rhyme, and fit them into a melody. Watching people create something so meaningful with language inspired me to try doing the same.

2. Where do you usually find inspiration for your poems?

Most of my inspiration comes from personal experiences, especially the ones I can’t easily share with other people. Whether it’s something that made me happy, heartbroken, angry, in love, or completely confused, those moments usually find their way into my writing. Poetry has always been one of the ways I process things I don’t know how to say out loud.

3. What themes or feelings do you often explore in your works?

It honestly depends on what I’m feeling at the time. I write about a lot of different emotions and experiences, but I’ve noticed that I tend to write more about my negative emotions. Sadness, frustration, jealousy, anger those feelings often become the starting point of my poems. Somehow, writing lets me turn my negative emotions into something a little more…whimsical✨

4. Describe your style in three words.

Vulnerable. Emotional. Reflective.

5. What advice would you give to writers who want to try poetry?

First, just write it. Just start.

Second, don’t be afraid to explore words and break grammar rules. Poetry gives you a lot of freedom, so use it.

Third, write honestly. The poems that connect the most are usually the ones that come from a real place.

Fourth, don’t chase complexity. Sometimes the simplest words hit the hardest.

Fifth, experiment. Try different styles, structure, and voices.

Sixth, not every poem has to be a masterpiece.

And most of all: WRITE IT. You can always edit a poem that exists. You can’t edit a blank page.
