"Calum, why is everyone in this town so afraid of you?" [this isn't scary i promise]

Principles on how to write powerful poetic passages, with explanations of how and why these rules work. I'm not saying I write great poetry by any means, but I do take pride in it. I've read on poetry in a few places, but Edgar Allan Poe's "The Poetic Principle" was the best; most of the following tips are based on that work. If you can, however, you should read the original, even though it can be a bit difficult to understand at times. Here, I've distilled the main points in modernized language. Enjoy!

Well hello, I am Carissa Grier. Nash Grier's younger sister and Haye's older sister. I have very long ombre hair and I am very tan. You might think I am the sweetest girl, but if you make me mad lets just say bad things will happen. I am very athletic. I play Fastpitch, volleyball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and football. I am 16 years old almost 17 in a month and 4 days. I don't ever hang out with my brothers friends because they all act like they are so cool to be around. I live with Nash, Hayes and Skylynn. Our parents died 2 years ago because a drunk driver and I have been depressed ever since. I do have depression and I do self harm, but no one knows I do. I take online school because I hate getting up in the morning and try to face the world. I have never had a boyfriend because I feel like they would judge me on how I look and because I am a suicidal freak.
