I really liked writing poetry in junior high. I didn't understand why poems existed that didn't rhyme, so most of mine did. I didn't write poetry after that until I got to college and took a poetry workshop. I'm still trying to get the feel of what makes a poem different from a piece of prose, what makes it a truly unique style of writing, and I'm beginning to become more comfortable using different forms.
