Excellent Biographical Poetry NOOK : Introduction by Bucketlist

Hi, and welcome to Poetry Nook 'There's a first time for everything' is the saying. Well, my first creative writing class was way back in college. My first encounter with creative thinking was via my divergent-thinking professor. He claimed he would not cut his grass because "I can hear it scream" That was the first time I wanted to drop any class , but his strange way of initiating response from us fascinated me, and I stayed. My childhood was good, yet mundane. My first inkling that I had any creativity in me was an 'A' in that class. The homework poetry stayed dormant until 4 years ago. I was convalescing from hip surgeries. The time void was another first for me. I happened to find the old penning and a friend silently sat while he read some aloud. " Great!" he said, "Why don't you share this on the web?" The first tingle of exicitement and disbelief took hold. I found this site and let my anxious fingers do the transcribing. Well here I am, with a three hundred plus collection of eclectic styles, genres, emotions, and images later! The first picture I chose for this revisited college homework appears above, and here is that first poem my friend read. Natural Mirror Looking down into the lake my reflection there I see But wait! There is a mistake that never could be me For that person in the lake Is clearly older than me The face is one that I care not to look straight into the eye MY heart is young my spirits high I am full of life as yet Could what I see be really true Something I'll regret? Her face has wrinkles coming her hair is going grey Her eyes are losing their luster along life's surly way NO! The answer is plain for one and all I was born a Gemini you see which makes me two as in twins, the other woman isn't me! Was it all just a dream or was it true reality? I'll have to take another look "Oh ****!" My mirror shows it's me! I hope you have as much enjoyment reading my poems, as I've had creating them! Author Notes Pinterest fantasy image
