How to write a poem about me The boy who lived by the sea As a youngster, I was not a loudspeaker Just a shy and quiet teenager Who wondered about Dreams of the Heart With my visions of yesteryear Well Preserved I loved Vegemite, honey, and ice-cream Then my life became Just a Little Dream Looking at the Crystal Clear Shallows on the bay I saw Ripples of Inconsiderateness turn my hair grey Struggling, life was disappearing after my stroke Emotionally I was crying out, Who’s Left to Row the Boat Needing strength, my stars echoed, “I do Thee…...

How to write a poem about me

The boy who lived by the sea

As a youngster, I was not a loudspeaker

Just a shy and quiet teenager

Who wondered about Dreams of the Heart

With my visions of yesteryear Well Preserved

I loved Vegemite, honey, and ice-cream

Then my life became Just a Little Dream

Looking at the Crystal Clear Shallows on the bay

I saw Ripples of Inconsiderateness turn my hair grey

Struggling, life was disappearing after my stroke

Emotionally I was crying out, Who’s Left to Row the Boat

Needing strength, my stars echoed, “I do Thee Shine”

Now I'm left with these Words of Mine

Recalling the days during her Everlasting Smile

Leaving my empty hands full of Memories and Rhymes

Today in Opinion

Sindhu Gopalkrishnan
I love writing as I get to create something beautiful and touch others with my words in the process. I love the fact that I can create a whole new world, something no one else has ever seen. Writing helps me to escape reality and create new realities. At times, I also write stuff in those stories that I can never muster the courage to say in real life. It's my safe space. I can write whatever I am feeling and I can let it all out. It's also very therapeutic to me..
