How to have a poem written about me
How I did it: A poet (Wendy Morton) came to speak to my English class in 10th grade, and she asked if anyone would like a poem written about them. Loving poetry and writing quite a lot of it myself, of course I said I did. So she sat down with me and told me that she saw in my eyes that I was a poet, and she asked me a few questions about myself. She then wrote my poem. Afterwards, she gave me her book, Shadowcatcher, and told me I didn't have to rhyme anymore, and I've been poetically liberated ever since.
