Hawkins Rodgers Biography

(I'll probably revise this at some point, but for the moment this is more of a list of facts than a bio, so keep that in mind.) I was homeschooled from preschool through 8th grade. I just finished Highschool, and I'm on my way to college. I've been writing poems ever since 7th grade. My favorite poem is 'If' by Rudyard Kipling and in general I prefer poems that rhyme. Even if they don't rhyme, my ultimate requirement in a poem is meaning; I try not to write anything that is solely a collection of 'pretty words' and my favorite poems are those that are more than that.)

The Best Poem Of Hawkins Rodgers

Open Minded

They say never be shallow, instead have an open mind
And ya'know that's funny, ‘cause I find, a mind left open often rots away
That's not to say, a closed mind is essential
For I know that would simply suffocate your potential

How about a clear mind, a sunny forecast
Keeping your mind unclouded by the delusions of the past
I mean dig your roots deep, be firm
But never reach the point where you can no longer learn
