Writing poems for fun

Poems were a bore for me back then. I used to publish short stories here. But, when I realize that fellow writers appreciate poems more, I decided to learn the art. My first poem was something rude, I wouldn't dare publish it again lol (not kidding). My following pieces were really sad and these have reflected my 'not so positive side'. So, I began writing about positive things, about hope and life and inspiration. Now, I find myself really enjoying at writing poems. I do not write fast though. Sometimes, it would take me a month to finish one, but the satisfaction is always worth it :)

I used to write poems too back in college. But then the habit kind of fade due to time matter. College life was simply free, got many free times to create and can enroll in time-consuming things like writing poems. I don't mean poem is a waste of time, nor it needs much time, but you do need to set aside some times or have the leisure to write.

I liked writing poems too, I have poems that are kept privately and some were published in my campus newspaper when I was in high school. I usually write poems when I'm being over-thrown by my own emotions. When I feel like that, whether the emotion I'm having is positive or negative, I'll know that it's the right time to write a poem. Although, I'll say the best time to write one is when you're feeling angsty and lonely.
