When I was 10 I wrote my first poem for a class assignment. It was worse than you might expect. The problem is that my teacher entered it into a statewide contest and it got published on the cover of a statewide distributed poetry book. I have a friend who still quotes from it in wonder. I was mortified and it was also the last poem I ever wrote. But my poetry publishing batting average is 1.000.

And I think most of us, maybe all of us, when we're three, four, five, six, seven we can all - we're all artists, we all have that thing. And in a lot of people it gets pounded out of you, or you, you know, the adult part of your mind tells you to drop that …” - John Lurie, Painting with John, “Bob Ross Was Wrong”
