Colorful Towels 02, (c) Rebecca Grapentine
Hello, my name is Rebecca Grapentine. Before I actually get into my poetry, I'd like to explain why I'm doing this, as well as give anyone who cares to read a little information about myself.
I'm 16 years old and live in Arizona. I go to Centennial High School, and I'm a junior there. I'm not popular, but I have friends, and I'm content with my school life and I'm pleased with where I am now. I don't live to please others, but if they like me, that's nice, and I thank them. I do my own thing, and I'm into things most "in" kids think are weird, but I don't care.
What inspired me to start this was class today. My Creative Writing class, actually. We did some poetry and I got this crazy idea: what if I made a blog where, every day, I wrote a "journal entry" in the form of a poem? So here I am. I'm going to do it. Of course, I'm going to have days where I'm on vacation or grounded and I can't get on the computer, but I'll still write a poem for those days and post them as soon as I have computer access. For example, I'm going to Germany the day after tomorrow, so I can't get on here, but I'll post all the poems I write for each day as soon as I get back.
So, thank you to all who wish to follow this Blog!
And for those of you who were wondering, I put a picture of colorful towels at the top of this because I like colorful things. And I like towels. So, why not colorful towels? They're pretty.
