Amandas Poems


I've always been an avid reader and writer and so I participated in a performance poetry competition at school this last semester. I spent some grueling weeks fighting with some tough competitors to be the LAST POET STANDING. I made it to the semi-finals where I was eliminated. I decided a few weeks later that I no longer wanted to be a teacher, but to really pursue my dream of writing. How do you become a better writer? You write as much as possible. So I decided to have 500 poems written in the next year. On April 5, 2011 I began that journey and on April 5, 2012 I will finish that journey. That means a poem and a half a day basically. So here is where I chronicle this epic journey.
