I have been writing poetry since I was in seventh grade. I am currently in the tenth grade. I have entered poetry contest before on poetry soup, and was in the top ten percent for my poem titled Bleeding Rose, and also made it past first round eliminations for an international contest they held. They only have two rounds for it so i think i did fairly well. If you would like to let me know what you think please just leave me a comment.
