Getting to know people...

hey im laura
im 14 and i have been coming up with poems since i could write, not as deep as they are now, but it has always been a way to get stuff off of my mind. i have been through a lot (as you can tell from my poems) and thats pretty much why i write....check mine out....

Hello,
I am Sandra(mysticpoet). I am new to this site also. Just wanted to say hello to everyone.

Hey everyone,
Welcome Noobies...LOL...you will enjoy the site it is awsome...
My name is Scooby...i am 17 yrs old every word of my poetry is true and my feelings all linger within it. Um, i am 17 a senior in highschool, i will be graduating this year...*tear* i started actually writing when i was about 8..lol i have sang forever, i picked up my very first microphone when i was 2...lol and sang twinkle twinkle little star...and i started writing songs when i was 8 and i started my poetry phase when i was about 10 when my life took a turn for the worst, and continued. My poetry doesnt always rhyme, every poem on here was triggered by a feeling i had at that very moment and it helps me release emotions i just can't seem to show...a poem i wrote "dear dad" i was actually crying when i wrote it...but yah hope to read some of yours and welcome to the site again.
take care
***with smiles**
Scooby

Welcome to the site, Roopa!

My first poem I actually just posted a few days ago... it's called The Lake and I wrote it shortly before I turned 11. Let's just say it was from a dream I had three nights in a row. [Not a great poem, but it got me started!]

Poems are an escape of the mind, body and soul. It helps to write your feelings down in an emotional way and read them later to know what you were thinking then.
