"Have you ever noticed how rhythym makes you move? How heavy bass vibrates the door panels of passing cars? Have you noticed the colors of a rainbow? How the stench of fireworks burns your eyes? How your cold winter hands sting under warm water? To be a poet is to notice ... and then transform what you notice into words." (Immersed in Verse, Allan Wolf, 2006, p. 6)

I write poetry because it improves my grades.

I write poetry because it makes me popular.

I write poetry because my teacher makes me.

I write poetry because it helps me make sense of my world.

I write poetry because it gives me a feeling of satisfaction.

I write poetry because it calms me down and focuses me feelings and ideas.

I write poetry because I want to explain myself better to other people.
