Your life in poems

the long version

"Do you know any poets? You might. Rockers can be poets. Rappers can be poets. The special someone who sits across from you in Spanish class might be a poet, too. Poetry is about the everyday stuff in your life. It's about love and friendship, family and school. But it's put into words that make you see it in a whole new way. So open up this book and see which poems make you say, 'Hey that's how it is for me, too!' Then get ready to join in. This book will show you how to be a poet, too."--Page 4 of cover.
