    Poetry is amazing. And it’s fun to write! I especially enjoy sonnets and nonsensical rhyming poetry, but I write almost any type of poetry I read. There’s no particular method of writing or thought process I use; I simply write.  Some of my nonsense poems are posted on my blog (hehe), and here’s a recent sonnet I wrote (Shakespearean style):

    I see my pale reflection in the glass
    A bending author peers right back at me
    The mirror my whole self does not hold fast
    Through ink stains on my hand the glass can see.
    Discerning and a careful look I wear
    And in my eyes are worlds I only know
    But if I were my works from years compare
    The fairy dust would always fall so low.
    I wield a rough and all-unable pen
    Thus far I have traversed and written all
    So for myself with my words I will fend
    Tools forged in ink are at my every call
    If others see me this way I know not
    No matter—words will still be formed from thought.

    *grins and sighs happily* Poetry.
