Starting to Love Poetry.

Most people I meet think that poetry is boring, or just a song that hasn't been good enough to put music too, but I love the rythm that poems can have. For a long time I have enjoyed both reading and writing, and I think there's always been some part of me that enjoys the rythm of it when poetry is read aloud, but I only started enjoying poetry in primary school. Ms Neil my teacher for year 3 and 4 has been one of the favourite teachers I've had since she taught me for the first time and it was in her lessons that I first wrote poetry, unfortunatly however it was a P.E lesson and I had left my kit at home. There were another two girls who had also forgotten their kit, but they forgot their kits regularly. Ms Neil set them to write a story about how they could be punished for forgetting their kit, but she only asked me to write a poem. In half the lesson I had finished and was sat watching the class doing P.E, and the other girls were finished soon after, so Ms Neil asked for our work back, and I glimsped their work too. My poem looked like it was longer than either of their stories, and I seemed to have enjoyed the lesson more than either of them.
This may be a random story for my first blog, but it's the origins of why this is on poetry, and now I will write a poem on just about anything that happens to me, or I find out about. Reading this you might think that I class myself as a poet, and sometimes I do, but most of the time I just think I'm just another person who enjoys writing poetry. I don't know how many poems I have written now, but I started writing a poem a day on the 14th August 2009, and still continue to do so, as well as writing any poem that jumps into my head throughout the day.
