I am just getting into writing poetry, but I think I have progressed a lot already. I am looking to enter some of my poems into a competition. Something that doesn’t cost money, but I could win money or a prize!

It’s amazing…
She has been beaten,
pushed down,
discouraged,
torn apart,
broken,
mistaken,
and abused,
it’s amazing,
at,
how,
she can look at the world,
holding her head high,
and ponder,
her thoughts,
with such a great amount of pride,
her eyes,
black,
and her nose bloody,
she can still look around,
and feel like she’s queen,
it’s astonishing,
at how,
every step she takes,
is taken,
carefree,
and widely,
it’s funny,
how she laughs at those,
who hurt her,
and still doesn’t mind,
at how she was abused,
it’s strange,
that after,
everything she’s gone through,
she can still find,
that one special guy,
it’s a mircle,
that after,
everything,
she still knows who her friends are,
it’s amazing,
at how,
her friends hurt her,
but she still is standing there besides them,
it’s wonderful,
that,
after all the pain,
she knows her place,
it’s different that,
he loves her,
even though she cheated,
it’s cute,
how she holds
her head up high,
and looks at the world,
with a huge amount of pride.

My daughter has to read a book of poetry and do a report on it by making a flowchart or newscast. (This is really odd, I think.) Anyway, is there something you could suggest? Next month’s assignment is a biography – any thoughts? Thank you.
