I think that this is one of my best pieces ever composed. I've been a poet since the age of ten because, my only friends were paper and pen. Poetry has been in me since a child because, my thoughts flowed like the Nile. I used everything that was around me as the engine to my poetry. I've experienced happiness and pain as I've fought through the rain. I've been prepared for the outcomes as my heart and soul speaks as one. The older I grew in years, the more my poetry became sincere. And now that I'm deep in maturity, I can rhyme with the finest impurity, because my soul's in the hands of security. Basically, I use my poetry as a voice to educate, uplift, and rejoice. I feel like it's my time to rise and shine because my heart, rings like Spanish chimes. I've been blind but now I see as my soul has been set free causing me to express myself artistically and blossoming into a great writer of poetry. Nathan |

Such a beautiful poem... I can relate to it. I have also been writing since I was young, and I can relate to many of the things you said. Good job! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Nate- Very nice poem. I always thought that a poet needed no practice, that they were inspired and wrote, as you have shown here. -tom |
