I can't teach people to write poetry. It has to come from your experience... from your insides. Listen babe, I could show you great poems which you will begin by imitating. If you have some talent, you might write a decent poem by the end of the semester. Cici Pinkus:
What do you do if everything inside you is ugly? Robert Meary:
