Poetry, Show, Bring, Myself, Strangers


Question by Squash: How can I bring myself to show my poetry to strangers?

For my English class, we have to write three poems and turn them in. Well.. I don't feel comfortable showing something so personal to my english teacher. Poetry is from the heart, in my opinion, and I don't like to show it to other people. I have a hard enough time writing it in the first place, let alone showing it to someone. Help?

At least this shows you really care, since it's from the heart, it's probably a really good poem, and showing something really well written is better than showing something rubbish at any rate.

If you're really not comfortable however, write something else that you are comfortable showing people. Try not to let the quality suffer by actually writing a poem about not wanting to show people your work. Be ironic.

(Whenever you seem to hit a wall creatively, you can get around it by writing about hitting that wall. Or write about your frustration etc, it's a nice little trick that keeps it meaningful)
