Growing up I learned a lot about poetry, and I actually got back into it in middle school. Now I've nearly completed my bachelors degree in English-Specialized in Writing and I'm looking to get into publishing.

I love to help people learn and develop their skills, but I also love to develop discussions about poetry, both famous and not. However, I've found that my criticism can be rather abrupt for some people when it comes to poetry, so ask at your own discretion, and the best way to develop their skills as poets, is to read poetry, so there's really no need to ask, just go find something to read.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
