I was a 16-year-old girl at one point, so of course I wrote poetry.

I've written poetry since I was a kid. As the years went on, I got into writing stories and screenplays, but I always, always kept up with poetry as well.

I started writing poetry in high school because I wanted desperately to write, but somehow, writing stories didn't appeal to me, and I loved the flow and the feel and sense of poetry, especially that of what one might call formal verse.

I've been writing poems and stories since I was about 13.

I love to write poetry.

I was lucky to have read a lot of poetry when I was younger; it helped me to remember a way to write.

Since the age of 11, I have loved writing poems and fragments from my life.

I've always wanted to write poems and nothing else.

I'm not an academic, but I've always loved poetry since I've been small.

In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.
