When I was taking my English II (literature) Class at college I almost
failed it because I told the teacher when she asked my about a poem that
for me it didn't make any sense at all. I told her that those were a
bunch of words that rythm together with no meaning whatsoever. She got
totally mad at me, and a girl next to me told me that i was an
insensitive person.
And now I'm writing odes, poems, posting neruda, and stuff. Isn't it
ironic?
Plus my English grammar and usage suck, so u go figure what was my grade
in that class.

Thing I love about it, is that is doesn't matter how it's done, or what
you've studied...

For me, it is the expression of inside a person.
And, most times what I have inside doesn't come out of my mouth
correctly. I stumble, trip, go word blind...

I never had a poetry teacher...

I just had a love of words. Began writing children's short stories...

So! You had a poetic heart, eh? And it does show...

I love how others perception of what it is supposed to be makes one
wrong.

I love knowing that in my wrongness, I am so right for me.

All my school life I was wrong....and so right.bigsmile

I'm trying to write something, but today was hell of a day at my job.
and I'm starving, not a good combination for poetry.

poetry is something you feel, not just a bunch of words. it's a
comination of what you feel, and what you see.. Look inside and write
down what you are feeling...
