Letter to poetry

I'm being forced to write poetry for my seventh period class. If I would have known that a writing class involved poetry, I probably would have dropped it. Well, maybe not because I love the teacher. Still, I hate hate hate hate hate hate poetry. I can't stand writing it, I don't like reading it, and I especially don't like being graded on it. A lot of people sometimes sit down and write poems, just for fun. I could think of a million better things to do, honestly. I suppose a lot of people enjoy poetry. I am not one of them. I don't like putting words together in certain orders. I like my words to be arranged however I want them to be arranged, not according to a specific type of poetry. I can't even think of any poets that I like, except Dr. Seuss. I could never make myself read or write poetry. I think I'll just skip all of these assignments and move on.
