Poetry

there’s a form of poetry called emoji-code translation. it was first coined in 2014 by Carina Finn and Stephanie Berger (I was once part of The Poetry Brothel with Steph—a story for another time). 

if you look up “emoji translation poems” you’ll find a cute little article from the Poetry Foundation detailing their origins. 

Berger, co-executive director of the Poetry Society of New York, defines the poems as “operating within a kind of secret language between girls; they are filled with our secrets, and only we know the code.”

here’s fun one I wrote a few years back and/or I would love to see more of these floating around on this app. 💋

Wow, emoji-code translation poetry sounds like such a creative and unique form of art! It's amazing how it can create a secret language between people. Your poem must be really cool. Looking forward to seeing more of these on the app! 🌟
