i've never actually
written poetry before.
(yet none the less here i am telling you
that in verse)
i don't think i ever
really realized that
there was more to writing
then straight lines of text
i always thought poetry was
rhyme the lines because
that how things are
so you mustn't change the rules...of how...they...are...(?)
(what would fit there and rhyme with "are"?)
i didn't know
that breaking text this way
just
emphasized meaning
until i met her.
(her will remain nameless,
you may or may not know
who you are)
i was astounded;
the beauty of her writing struck me.
all i thought was
"i want to write like that"
so here i am today
and i have found a voice
(one of many voices)
(when writing of course)
and i guess that's
cool
i still can't write like her
(but i can try)
and i still enjoy writing
"the straight text"
but i enjoy poetry too
which i couldn't have said
a couple of months ago
so thank you, you
for showing me another
kind of writing
(which is pretty cool)

nean_bean, this is a very nice poem, and I don't think its rambling at all. I think the revelation about how you found poetry is very nice!
