Johnnie's Poem- Alden Nowlan

This poem delivers a very important message. It states that anybody, no matter how big or small, how intelligent or not, how rich or poor, can write poetry. All it takes is imagination, and passion. I agree with this message. Although some write poetry better than others, everybody has the ability. Some love writing poetry, others not so much. I am one of the others. Even though I dislike writing poetry, I can. I believe that poetry is one of the simplest concepts there are to writing; it's not complicated, there aren't many rules, and anybody can do it. You just have to have imagination, and passion as i said before. Just write about what you feel deepest and hardest, as the poem says.
