One thing I absolutely love about poetry is that you can write about anything or anyone and be a vague as you want. You could write a poem about how much you love this girl or hate this teacher. There is no need to use the names of the person you are writing about because the beauty of poetry is it is from the heart and anyone can connect to it.

For those tough guys out there that think the poetry is for softies or girls.

I agree with you on some terms. Lovey-dovey poems … not my thing and they do not have to be! Like I said before you….can write poems about anything. Whether it is how hard you decked that guy in football or caught the winning catch. Everyone has poetry in them whether they know it or not.

I am a very athletic boy, 14 years old at the moment. My life is full of school, girls, swimming and water-polo. I have a hectic schedule and use sports as a drive for my emotions. But from my experiences writing about the sport you do really make you appreciates it much more.

Poetry is an endless connection to your soul. You hear it in rap and rock and roll. I am not saying that you will become the next “slim shady.” You can write at any time without any waiting. Poetry is a game of mind and wonder. So grab a pen and pad and roll out your thunder. You don't have to tell your friends at school. It doesn't have to be in your click or cool. Just sit, relax, clear your mind and wait. You know a bazillion words now concentrate. You scored the goal your girlfriend is hot, you mom always screaming you like your about to get shot. Time seems too really get slow, a Boom a Bang as you hand begins to fiddle. You look around to see who is there. A friend, a teacher oh well who cares. Your thoughts begin to process and your hand moves quick. You begin to form a beat… that's the trick. You end up making a line or two. Poetry can be fun for me and you. It is your turn now… toodle-loo.
