Write about your approach to poetry. What is difficult about it for you? What do you like about it? What, to you are the exciting aspects of poetry? What aspects do you dislike? Don’t feel that you have to answer all of these questions: just use them as inspiration.
Poetry allows one to express emotions that would otherwise go unexpressed. It is like pie in the face: embarassing, but it can be sweet. I find it very difficult, at times, to open up enough to be honest and real in my poetry. I don’t like to be vulnerable, but I do like when others are touched by my writing.
I’ve never been good at it, I either over-rhyme or it just makes NO sense what-so-ever!
