What Is Poetry To Me?

To me poetry is a way of expressing emotion, sometimes emotions that you've buried so deep that you don't even know you have until the words flow out on your paper. Poems that I have written have taught me much about myself and poems that I have read have taught me about life, love, and all of the injustice in the world. Poetry is a great way to get angry or speak out without having to resort to violence or other things that could hurt someone. 

Education In Your Hands

Education can be an incredible thing, but if you're like me sometimes it can be tremendously boring. This is not nessisarialy the teaches fault sometimes students just aren't interested in learning about history or whatever it may happen to be. Teachers can contribute and help an uninterested student get involved by being enthusiastic in their lessons and get their attention. Students can also bring life to a boring subject, but not without some work for example do your History project on something you can relate to like music or football. Education is always available if you are willing to put the effort into learning it.

Writer's Quote

Born October 9th, 1940, John was a big part of music history. His career started when he founded a small band called The Quarry Men in his home town of Liverpool, England. In the 60s John was arguably the leader of the band The Beatles. In 1962 John married Cynthia Lennon only divorce her six years later. In 1970 The Beatles broke up and John went on to be a solo musician until 1975 when he left the music business to raise his second son. In 1980 John along with his wife, Yoko Ono, got back into music and released the album Double Fantasy. John was murdered December 8th, 1980, three weeks after Double Fantasy was released.

      "It's weird not to be weird" ~John Lennon 

 

To me the quote "It's weird not to be weird" means that if something isn't weird or creative then it is ordinary and boring. This is important to me when I write because all the thrills and poetry comes from being weird. Without weirdness writing stories or songs wouldn't excite me, instead it would be about as fun as writing a textbook or owner's manual.
