Your First Poem...

[Pensive]

She cares for me
She makes me feel glad
I owe my mother
She make dishes for me
When she is angry, she makes me sad
I like my mother
She is one who consoles me
She is one who comforts me
I love my mother
I love my mother

This is my first poem

The very first thing I recall was some terrible thing about spring I wrote when I was 9 :D... then I started some writing when I was around 14, I called them lyrics but since I dont know music, they remained poems... but one day I just threw them all away. I started again at 17 when what I call 'my depression' started, and the first poem was about feeling bad about my best friend 'leaving' me... it's not even that bad in its naiveness methinks, I'd post it if it didnt need translation (and if I translated it it would lose a lot). Oh cos actually, my 'lyrics' of the 14-year-old period where all in English, whil when I started again I dont know why it took a few months before I turned to English again and since then I've always written in whichever language I feel, just randomly...

I was always stringing together words to make 'songs' and poems but the first one that every had to be written and wouldnt shut up till it was, was when I was 8 or 9 my mum set me an essay to write about what did you see at the zoo. I hate essays so I ended up with this (p[lease bare in mind the 8 factor here)

I went to the zoo and what did I see?
A monkey sitting in a coconut tree.

I went to the zoo and what did I see?
An elephant eating a peanut tree.

I went to the zoo and what did I see?
A giraffe flossing his 2 front teeth!!

Needless to say my friend who came over to study with me won the prize (choclate and a sticker) as although it was very good it was not the task that was set!
