Workshop

I am slightly nervous for class tomorrow. My poem is one of the poems being work shopped, and I’m not sure what to expect exactly. I’ve been in Playwriting and Creative Nonfiction workshops before, and even though Creative Nonfiction is very personal, poetry is by far the most personal for me. I’ve been writing poetry since second grade; sometimes it is to describe a beautiful scene, or to tell a story, but most of the time it has something to do with my emotions. Sometimes it’s event that has happened, or other times it’s just my thoughts that are running wild. The poem I submitted is pretty personal and dark, so I just hope that people in the class appreciate it. Everyone is pretty nice, so I don’t have to worry about it being torn to shreds, but it’s still scary. I know I should have a positive attitude though, and think about it in the sense that by being work shopped my poetry will only improve; it is interesting to get feedback from so many different people.
