The Hidden Poetess
I have been writing poems lately. I never really thought I could write poetry, but the last few weeks they have just been pouring out of me. I found a little pink notebook that I keep with me wherever I go, just in case I am somehow suddenly inspired by something. It got kind of hard to just keep them to myself, so I decided to share them with two of my closest friends. Amazingly, they loved them. The more I think about these poems, the more I want to somehow make them into songs that I could accompany with my guitar. But they are really personal, so I feel really protective of them right now. I want to break out of this protective shell that I surround myself in and share them with more people, and I think I have come up with a way to do just that. I am going to submit a few to the Muse, the literary arts magazine at Arapahoe. We'll see how it goes and if I get in.

If you feel strongly about your poems, they'll come out strong, too. Maybe you should try some on your guitar--just for fun, you don't have to share the songs, but it will give you an idea of what your poems sound like. It might be easier to present them that way.
