A Letter To Myself

A Letter To Myself

Dear Corey,
I see you’re now 20 years old,
Wow, you’re all grown up,
With the rest of your life to unfold,
Your life could have been better,
If you done well in school,
But you chose to be the clown,
The funny class fool,
So Corey was it worth it?
Skipping maths class?
At least now you have matured,
An adult at last,
Shame you don’t have many qualifications,
Because you could go far,
But I do still believe,
That you could be a star,
I know the Welsh economy’s terrible,
It’s not your fault your unemployed,
Some credentials would have helped,
That’s the reason I’m annoyed,
You threw your education away,
Just to have a giggle,
But now your chances of getting a job,
Are very incredibly little,
But the person you are,
Is one that makes me unbelievably proud,
From that rebellious teenager,
You have turned it right around,
No longer do you drink,
And you don’t do drugs,
And no longer do you associate,
With them idiotic thugs,
I’m glad you have started writing,
Everyday you write a poem,
And they keep on improving,
I love the talent you are showing,
Well that’s all I have to say,
I’ll now leave your past behind,
I’ll speak to you soon,
Yours dearly, your mind.

A Poem By Corey Booth – 16/02/12

The Collaborations!

The Collaborations!

I’m looking to do a few poetry collaborations with some of the talented poets that this online world has to offer! I have many different ideas about what I want to do in these collaborations and I also want the people I’m collaborating with to tell me their ideas so we can write something brilliant. The structure of these collaborations will vary, it could be a verse each, it could be line for line, it depends on what idea’s we come up with and how we go about it.
I understand that you don’t see much collaborating on the internet in poetry but I highly believe that it could become great, with many different poetry styles mixing up, different creativity ideas and the motivation from each other there is potential to create some wonderful work.
When constructing the poem I would like to interact via email as I can access it at any time of day at any place so I will always be able to get back to the collaborator.
I now have over 1,200 followers so if you were all interested I would probably have a nervous breakdown haha! So please only the people who have a few hours of spare time and are really interested in collaborating get back to me!
Also if interested please tell me your idea’s about what you would like to write about because your idea’s may be so much better than mine.
So if interested please write to the email below with what you would like to write about or what ideas you have and I will get back to you as quick as possible with some of my idea’s and we shall go from there!

Also while discussing idea’s with oghma we came up with the idea to get as many poets as we can from all different nations to write a verse about their country to create a mega-poem! So if you’re interested in doing that please email me so I can mark your country down as ”done” !

I look forward to hearing and working with some of you soon!
