The Effect Of Poems Of Comfort On People

By Serena Price


Poems of comfort are known to be poetic expressions that offer condolences to people grieving and those that are various adversities. Words can be powerful in a sense that they can inspire change and influence behaviours, moods, and attitudes. It is for this purpose that these poetic expressions are written as they have the power to turn around situations.

Over the years, poetry has significantly grown popular and with its evolution, generations after generations have been able to advance this craft. A craft that was previously only defined as a flow of words that rhyme is now advanced to a better state whereby poetic expressions are more than rhyming but the coded message in the lyrical content.

Among its many objectives is usually the ability to offer encouragement to people that are hopeless and think they have no reason to live. For such people, finding purpose in life is difficult but with inspiring words that touch their souls they can be influenced to change their perspectives and begin getting their lives back. It is by comforting these individuals that they get to be joyful again.

Recollecting past events has been identified as among the most effective ways of getting people to realize the potential they have despite the challenges they are facing. This however is well attained by using words that pierce through the past life events which resurrects dreams that might have been forgotten and as a result giving people the zeal to keep chasing their dreams.

Usually, people in diverse locations across the world face different adversities and with some having people to comfort them, there are those that are all by themselves and do not have a shoulder to cry on. Poetic expressions usually come in handy in certain situations as people get to comfort themselves through inspiring words that strengthen their spirit giving them reasons to continue fighting even when life is tough.

Given that they are capable of tapping in to feelings and emotions, these pieces are known to have the ability to inspire joy even for those that are grieving. It is the directness of the words used in these compositions that people are able to identify their adversities and relate with the described situations that occur in their daily lives. This comforts people as they feel understood making their situation feel normal.

Sometimes when people are mourning and are in pain, all they want is sympathy and the feeling that they are understood. People who are in pain tend to do stupid things and they also may not want company; therefore, poetry can be used to either calm them down or basically give them a better perspective of what they feel and want to do.

Nowadays, people have developed this culture of presenting poems of comfort in funeral and during mourning times other than songs like it has been in the previous years. Apart from being comforting, they also are entertaining which make them presentable in different occasions only that the writer and presenter ought to change the theme in order to suite the occasion.
