My favorite part of my portfolio is the poetry booklet. It is my favorite because I enjoyed writing it.  I like to write poetry because it is a good way to express and convey ideas and emotions. It is something that I have recently discovered, and a hobby of mine. The poetry booklet is a collection of my favorite poems that I wrote this fall.

My least favorite part of my portfolio is my children's book. It took more effort than expected, and finding and sourcing art was also harder than I thought it would be. I don't usually write things for other people to read, much less children, so I had to come up with  a simple, appropriate story.  I also wrote it late at night so it's not my best work, but it is overall okay.

I have grown as a writer because of the class magazine. It is a collection of writing that over the year our class has written. I wrote a short story, a poem, and a dialogue, I learned and grew as a writer wile writing these. I also learned more about writing because of reading my classmate's work.

I want to write more poetry, it is my favorite form of writing. It can be powerful, sad, beautiful, or all of these things at once. You can wright about your feelings, your experiences, or your opinions and problems.  Poetry is an open book, it doesn't even have to be about you, you can write it about someone else.  It is a wonderful form of self expression, and I enjoy writing poetry because it can be whatever you want it to be.
