Hi, my name is Andrea.
I am excited to share my writing portfolio with you.
I have always enjoyed writing but I didn’t realize I had a talent for writing until I started taking a few courses through Udemy online. Through these courses, I have been able to stretch my imagination and become more creative.
In addition to Personal Non-Fiction, and fictional stories, Poetry has always been in interest of mine. I enjoy reading all forms of poetry but writing the various forms can be a challenge at times. After all, quite often you are baring your soul and suddenly remember, “other people are going to read this.” Its not always easy to open up about things in writing but like any other craft, it gets easier with time and practice.
What follows is a series of various poetry forms, vignettes, and personal musings that I wrote.
The Satire poem was the easiest poem for me to write, aside from the haiku and Tanka poems. I love writing comedic poetry and I have a lot of experience trying to write on very little sleep, as a matter of fact, I have a lot of experience doing anything with very little sleep. So a lot of those scenarios in that poem were very familiar to me. The Narrative poem was the most difficult, as there was so much detail and I didn’t want to make it boring.
The Shakesperean Sonnet was the most challenging but I learned a lot about sonnet’s through this lesson. In some ways, it is easier to write with certain restrictions in mind so that one does not go off on a tangent.
Writing about my experiences in this life and hopefully connecting with others who have similar experiences is the goal of my writing. Sometimes all it takes to turn your day around is to read something funny or a moment that we can relate to. Above all, God is in control and all we need to do is go along for the ride.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my poems as much as I enjoyed writing them!
