Do you ever write poetry?

When I sat down to write out my son's birth story it came out in poem form and I also wrote out my "ideal birth" in poem form. They are probably the most beautiful pieces of writing I have ever done.

I've not been published but I used to write a lot of poetry. I'm not sure why I stopped but I keep meaning to start again.... one day....

Yes I wrote one very good poem, well so they say.
I get it from my Mother who was quite a good poet in her day, and won awards.
Maybe it's time to write another.

Yes, but I would never share my poetry with anyone. I don't think it's good.

I bet if you did show it to somebody, they would disagree with you. :)

The last poem I penned was four months ago. I'm not very good at it, but this one was brilliant if I may say so myself. LOL.

Yes. I constantly compile poetry. It helps as a coping strategy.

I've been writing short and longish poems about all sorts of things, inspired by what people say and things/events around me, for 25 years.

I am hoping to be published in the near future, with a book for teaching poetry to/for schoolkids.

No I don't.

I would like to have that capacity for words but unfortunately I don't. My son, however, is very gifted with words and had a small book of poetry published when he was in his 20s.
