On a whim, I decided to take a creative writing class at Douglas College. And I LOVE IT! I have always dabbled in poetry and always secretly felt that I had this hidden gift (I'm sure many others feel the same way). And now I've had the chance to explore and share my passion.
At first, I was pretty apprehensive because it is a workshop style class which means we don't study poetry, we write it. And we share and criticize. EeeK! Have people read my poetry and critique it! You have to be kidding me!
But I've done it! I've had two poems workshopped so far and several others commented on by the teacher. It's actually so enjoyable to read, write and think about poetry for several hours a day. And it's even more enjoyable to have a relative stranger say that they LOVE your poem.
So all in all, very enjoyable and I will likely be taking the next level in the Winter semester.
