Hey guys, It's Jac some of u know me, I'm a Filipino-American disabled with a paralyzed left arm that walks with a regular cane. Does anyone of u wants to help me on how to start teaching poetry? I really want to teach it with the Mental Illness group but like what I said some of them are lazy, don't want to move u know in which worries me because I just want to tell them "U gotta strive hard to accomplish something in life" but I don't know how to tell them because it's a constructive criticism and some of them don't take constructive criticism, in which it irritates me AAHHH! Well just enjoy my poetry, thanks

Wondering why Eternal God wants me to know poetry Poetry is easy yet seriously difficult Want it easily to be understood by all Not all people knows Poetry It is difficult to understand Some people think that poetry is Rhyming Some people think that poetry is complicated Yet difficult to understand Poetry is therapeutic Makes us release our emotions Sad Wanting to teach poetry Don’t know how to start Wanting to impart some knowledge of poetry Yet it’s a lot to learn Sorry truth be told but some people are lazy Lazy to figure out how to do it Lazy to look on the dictionary Laziness is a sin called Sloth You are not lazy Strive to learn poetry Poetry is fun Not very many people knows poetry A day will come & teach poetry We all have the power to be poets You must want it to get it We must strive hard to get it We all have power to be poets Poetry Form: Free Verse Date Written: May 26 Time Written:8:14pm

Oh my gosh! This has to be more than coincidental. I usually pick things to read solely based on a title. If it catches my eye then I want to know more or read more. The fact that it was this poem I chose. After your inspiration or instructions to learn how to write a sonnet on my own free verse! I have the chills. Id be honored to learn all skills of writing that you are willing to teach.

Oh my goodness! May I ask how old are u? Sonnet is a 3 Quatrains, a 4 lines poem and a Couplet, a 2 lines poem so 4 lines times 3 Quatrains is 12 lines + Couplet, a 2 lines poem = 14 U have a Sonnet a 14 lines poem. I invite you to visit my poetrysoup hp and choose a poem to comment on, thanks.
