I have a poem that I wrote?

Question

Should I tell my parents that I wrote a poem or should I not. I wrote a poem titled Love is and I am a guy and I kinda think its weird for guys to write poems. I do not know if I should tell them please help. Heres the poem
Love is like the wind it blows and blows again
Love is like a flower that blooms every spring
Love is like the sun that gives light during the day
Love is like music that rings in my ear
Love is like a kiss from somebody y ou adore
And it makes me sure that I love you
I love you smile as we dance in the rain
I love when we kiss it drives me insane
I love it when you look at me with those clear blue eyes
I love your long flowing hair as it blows in the wind
I love you and only yo
You are the only one that listens when it seems nobody else cares
You listen when I worry and try to calm me down
Your words are so soft and loving they are soothing and sound

Answer 2

Anyone who writes poetry will tell you that there are public poems (the ones you share with others) and there are private poems (the ones you keep for yourself as a reminder of your thoughts and feelings). If the poem is not something you feel comfortable sharing with your parents, that's OK. If you feel comfortable, go ahead and share it!

I'm not sure why you would think it is weird for guys to write poems; we've been doing it for thousands of years! If you enjoy poetry, try to get involved in a creative writing class. Your poem here makes much use of simile. There are many, many other ways to use words to express your ideas, and you might find that different techniques serve you well in different situations (or with different subject matter). Keep writing! Even if the only purpose is to help you collect your thoughts, it's worth doing.

Answer 3

Super good poem! By the way...it is not weird for guys to write peoms. Poetry takes talent, and talent knows no gender. As far as your parents go, I'll try to help. Is this poem about a specific person or just how you think love should feel? If it's about someone, do your parents know that you have feelings for that person? Have they met this person? If it's about someone and your parents are aware of your feelings and they are supportive then all you need to do if get over your shyness and show them. If they are not supportive of your feelings than this peom might help them understand. If they are not aware of your feelings, you may want to bring that up before you show them the poem. If the poem is just a poem about how you think love should be, than it may not make a difference either way (sharing it with your parents or not). In this case you may concider writing a less serious poem, and sharing that one with them. This will give you a chance to see what your parents think about you writing poetry, but at the same time, you will not be sharing anything too close to your heart and thus protecting your most personal feelings and thoughts. If your parents respond positively than you can tell them that you have written another poem (the poem that you posted with this question) and choose to share it with them. If they seem indifferent, or make you feel even the slightest bit uncommfortable about the simple poem you show them, then you have the opportunity to appeal to them about how important poetry might be to you and ask for them to be most supportive, or you can continue to just share your poetry with only those people who appriciate it and just settle for the thought that you enjoy peotry and that one day your parents will probably come around and want to be more involved with your art (yes, I do concider writing of all types art). I recomend sharing your poetry with your parents. I think that families should have open communication, but this only works if everyone is willing to share. I hope that at least something I have said has helped.

If you would like to share any more of your writing, I would like to read them! [e-mail]

Answer 4

Why would you not tell your parents you have written a poem? If you check at your local library, you'll see that most of the famous poets are men. They'd probably be delighted to read this. It's one of the few pieces of modern writing that isn't full of four letter words -- and you can't believe how refreshing it is to read something that can be shared by the whole family!
Keep writing.

Answer 5

why would you hide this well written poem from your parents? It's all just your feelings over love. Now, if your poem was about a teacher, brother or sister that you've fallen madly in love with, that's when you need to hide it from your parents. If your poem had any type of inappropriate language relating to sexual things, then you should hide it from your parents. Try writing some of your poetry in a journal, and show it to your parents. Who knows, they might think you're a professional.

Answer 6

I enjoy poetry and feel that it is an awesome way to express your thoughts. I would be proud if one of my children chose to write poetry, but some people think that poetry is feminine because they are narrow minded and won't open themselves up to the diverse ways of self-expression that present themselves. I don't know your parents but you do. If you fear their reactions for legitimate reasons such as them having spoken negatively about writing poetry in the past then don't tell them. Keep your poetry as your own personal work. If you just don't know how they will react, share your poem with them and see. Whatever the outcome, never be afraid to express yourself.

Answer 7

Why would you be afraid to tell your parents?
Tell them its a school assignment to write a love poem and ask what they think. They will probably say it is very nice and then correct your grammer to help make it even better.

There is no greater love than that of a parent for its child.



I`m a Parent

Answer 9

i liked you poem it is entirely up to you if you decide to show your parents there is nothin wrong with a guy writing poetry it is your way of expressing urself i write to but not poems jst stories my parents dont know coz i dont want to tell them it is my escape fom reality and my parents wouldn't understand they would probably make it into a serious activity for me if you feel comfortable sharing it with them then go for it bt there isnt anything wrong with hiding it from them good work on the poem and there isnt anything to be ashamed about it is what you enjoying doing

Answer 10

Find out whether you can share your poem, and much more, with your parents by asking if you may read them a poem by a stranger, and see if they have an encouraging attitude or if they criticize everything. Don't open up until you find a welcoming atmosphere.
