When asked why she writes poems, Ms. Shapiro says that poetry uses words in their full potential and it colors our perceptions. Through the use of language, rhythm, and metaphor poetry is a more expressive power than ordinary associations which can become extraordinary. Poetry aims at truth to sharpen rather than distort perception. My mind is stimulated and my senses come alive. It is hard work but certainly worth it.
