Hey everyone! I'm 18 and live in a up-in-coming town called El Centro. Well i've been writing poetry for about two years now. Not to toot my own horn, but it just comes really naturally to me. My mom (who sadly was my English Teacher) taught me all the elements of poetry which i already know completely by heart. Some of my poems are good, some aren't. It's like sports, ya win some ya lose some. I also notice that i have Amadeus syndrome where i really don't like to change what i've written. I'm completely open to suggestions and criticisms. Thank everyone soooo much! i really appreciate it.
It is my belief,

Of a man that spoke of great fright.
He stood on the corner
Like a small stature mourner

I wish that I could pick up a guitar
And play a song for you that's beautiful.
Each chord would melt you 'til your eyes were pools
And you would glow as if you were a star!
...
Don't rhyme, Poetry.
Our thoughts and tongues don't think that way.
Steer clear of meter, sweet Poetry.
I'm tired of counting and scanning.
...
You rare, odd beauty.
How can something like you
Insist on confusing not only
My mind, but the minds of others?
