Is your poetry sad?

[Shawn]

Oftentimes, when I write a poem, it's sad.

I often use creative writing to help reduce stress and depression. I'll create a horror story based on the problems I've having. I can easily create a monster out of it.

But when I'd depressed or sad, I usually turn to sad poetry and that makes me feel better.

How about you all? Is this something you also do at all?

I have explored different kinds of emotions in my poetry, however, some of my best works are the ones where I have shared pain and sadness. I think sad emotions have great appeal in literature, especially poetry.
