I was offended, and that whole "write of passage" thing was directed to me. In class, we had to write poetry, and recite it as well. Besides that, I've been studying the elements of a poem for at least three months by now.

And I write poems literally every day. I just don't show them off all the time because a lot don't click with me. It's when one does click that I go "hm..." and then I follow through with it. I try to figure out a strong focus, good allusion to the series, trying to identify it to the character, and then trying to make sure the stresses are at least mostly alternating.

I think I'll write a poem for Ruby next. She needs something else other than "My mom is dead." I don't even remember her mentioning it much in-show.
