Do you write poetry?

I had my first poem published the day I got my O Level results. The Kestrel, which neither rhymed nor scanned, appeared in a glossy magazine called Norfolk Fair. That day I got seven O levels and earned one guinea. Then I sent a poem called No Thoughts to the Christian Science Monitor. The editor rejected it but said, “I can see from these verses that you have some talent and I do hope that you will determine to put it to good use in the future.” I never wrote any more poetry.
