Poetry

       I have always been into poetry. I used to write it all the time that also got me into writing songs. Poetry is one was that I can express how I'm feeling, it is honestly really hard to come up with something that sounds good but every once in a while I can write something that I like to share. I can't really say that I have had a positive experience with poetry. Besides writing it.. other than that... I don't really like to read poetry, I'm more up to being the author and having people read mine. When I write poetry or words on paper, I always know what I want to say but when I put it down on paper it just turns out all wrong and doesn't really make sense. When I do get something I like, it feels really good.
       I can't explain the way I feel when I write poetry because every time it is different. It all depends on my mood and what is on my mind. I know that I tend to write kinda sappy or romantic poems but every once in a blue moon I get a funny one. One time in 7th grade I was eating lunch and it was during the WASL. I had a pencil with me for some reason and I wrote one about the WASL right on my brown paper bag. People thought it was super good. I was gonna show my teacher but I forgot it was on there and I threw it away :/ But I did later on come up with a similar one. I can't really remember what got me into poetry, I have always liked Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein but not to the point where I looked up to them or they were my inspiration.
       When I think about the word poetry, I think about people. I think about sadness and fun and life and reality and dreams and wishes and love and everything. I think about personalities, I don't know... Poetry has a bazillion definitions and can never have a bad or stupid one.
