Why is a nearly 14-year-old boy writing poems? The reason why I can explain easily. On the one hand, there was my Literature teacher. It was simply a homework assignment! After that went to be fun, another important factor of a 14-year-old boy came along: Love! What made the girls melt away, if you were not just a sports star: self-written poems! So much for my initial motivation. But I do not want to hide that I had already written smaller stories in elementary school, unfortunately, all are lost.
