Yes, I vaguely remember having written a few poems in my youth, especially during high school, but it would be embarrassing to have compare my paltry efforts to the amazing zingers of Emily Dickinson, the classic American poet. Little sister thought my poems were so ridiculous, as also my diary when she found and read it. But some people are not focused on trying to be the best in the world. Sometimes just
being good enough to hold a job for a few years is all that is needed to
pay the rent and groceries.
