As I was sitting in class one day, it was announced that we were having an art festival and that we had to write poems. I noticed that my friends were writing poems about "Darkness" so I decided to write about "Light". I later decided to write more poems about just like my friend was doing at the time. As I was writing "The Phoenix Rises", (another poem in my book) I began thinking "would it be funny if I published these?" So, I challenged myself to do it. I then told my mother and she agreed it would be a good idea and the challenge would be worth it.
