When I was very little I used to write songs to sing to the dog!.!. then wrote nothing again until a grade ten assignment to write a poem - the night before it was due I quickly scribbled something down - I was surprised when my teacher took me aside and told me I was a writer!.!.

Here is the poem!.

THE NIGHT

(my first poem - age sixteen)

Awoken by the stillness
I escape
The dull confinement
Of my room
To explore the Night!.

The moon is full
And casts a lighted path
To lead me t'wards the lake
Where moonlight sits
Atop each tiny wave
They rush to dwindle at my feet!.
!.
Soft warm breezes
Caress my skin
Like black silk veils…
I stand in their embrace!.!.

The Night is Still
And Silent
And Alone…
And I am Queen
Of Silken Winds
Of Silent Moons
Of the Night…!.!.

All at once
A jagged howl
Pours down upon the heavy air

The wind has risen
And the lake
No longer lies placid!.
The Moon has ducked
Behind a cloud
Now all is Darkness!.!.

My kingdom is gone!.!.
I rush in fear
Back to my room
To escape
The Night…

That's a damn good question and I can't remember when I'd written my first poem!. The one thing I know for certain is that I'd be a far better poet if I could come up with a word that rhymes with "Nantucket!." ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com
