Writing Poems - A Creative way to share thoughts & ideas.

How do you express yourself, e.g. what you feel or an idea you want to get across? Do you always speak your mind, do you just write it down or do you simply draw or sing? 

Well, there are very many ways to express one’s feelings, and writing these feelings or ideas down is just one of them. Writing can be a source of endless inspiration and enlightenment and a kind of art that empowers, nurtures, and transforms.  It can also help open up conversations that are otherwise difficult to start and in recent years, youth poetry has particularly blown up and is quickly becoming popular among young people in South Sudan who use their creativity for good.

So this episode features two young South Sudanese who are passionate about writing POEMS to get their messages across to other people.

Priscilla Ayuen – a student at the University of Juba and Grace Mundua – a student at the Catholic University of South Sudan are both celebrated young writers in South Sudan. In this conversation, the young ladies talked about their most popular poems and their motivation.
