Poetry

Poetry is currently my worst enemy. I sit at this computer, staring at a blank page, and nothing is coming to me. I have no epiphany like these movies, where words just come flowing out. Maybe I should follow the examples of Pandemonium, and take some opium. Then maybe I will write some decent poetry. But seriously, my teacher assigns us to write these poems, and expects us to learn all this stuff, when half the year we did nothing. Seriously, nobody's going to take you seriously if all we do is sit there and learn nothing, and then 3 quarters into the year you decide "OH! maybe I should actually teach this kids something." Sorry, but that really is not the way this works. So I attempt to write poetry, but then he has all these rules about what it should be like. Isn't this CREATIVE writing? Shouldn't I be able to write however I want to write? I really think I'm missing something. You say my stories are "too cliche" or "make no sense" well maybe I am a fan of the cliche! Maybe I enjoy things that don't make sense. Maybe I enjoy adverbs too! So, boo to you teacher. I despise your class. The end.
