Why I like to write poetry

8/20/2014

The following paragraph was a writing assignment. I had to write an organized paragraph about something. I chose to use poetry as my topic.

I really like to write poetry. Usually, the inspiration for my poetry comes when I am outside. Being outside requires my whole body to be engaged with my surroundings. Most of the time, I think of two lines that rhyme, and just add more as I go. Sometimes I get stumped, and have to find another way to get the point across. Even if I can figure out the rhyming issue, I often have to ask Mommy for help with the rhythm. I like to write poetry because it is a mix of creativity and problem solving. It also is a way of expressing my thoughts.

Very nice! I think it would be hard to come up with reasons that I like to write certain things! Good job.

I wrote a novel last year about a girl named Emily, a poet, who is facing a very difficult decision. She shares a lot of her hopes and fears through poetry as she thinks and prays about what she should do. I would love to send you a free copy if you'd write a review! Send me an email if you're interested.

I wrote a poem last year for my school. Then my teacher told my about this poetry contest. Once I entered they gave me a thank you for joining card. After a while I got a letter in the mail saying I am a published poet. I think you should do it. They also have a essay contest and a art contest. You should totally do you it you poetry is amazing.
