Eight Years Writing Poetry is Not Enough

I discovered www.poetrysoup which lists styles of poetry This site shows you examples of haiku, senryu, alliteration, monorhyme Diminished hexaverse, acroustic, shape poems, rhyme, and much more The first day I discovered this site I wrote eight poems; all a different style By the time I branched out to www.allpoetry, I was a bit more confident I believe that now I know a teensy tiny bit about what poetry is. Delving into this art for eight years, has not been nearly enough There is so much to learn; I feel I barely know anything yet. Here is what I do know. It is fun for me to write every day. I set a daily goal of ten poems; I usually make this goal. Have made this goal for four years. I like sharing my poems, and appreciate every comment. As a thank you to others, I hold six poetry contests simultaneously. I would hold twelve, but we are limited to only six. A thesaurus and scientific fact book for children are my references. If I run out of ideas I say “what if” and create outrageous scenarios. I love writing poetry; for I am a storyteller.
