What is poetry? Poetry can be a haven, a voice to the voiceless, a joyful song to the heavy hearted, and a way to grip your heart for the glory of God. It is a tool used in the Word of God to exemplify an extension of God’s creativity.

Look around in nature, and you will see the amount of detail and creativity the Creator showed in the things He created. Words are not an exception. Take a look at the first words spoken at creation: “Let there be light, and there was light.” God could have simply thought it, and it would have happened, but He chose to speak light into being with words.

In this course, we explore many types of poetry so that you can find your favorite types and create some masterpieces of your own.
