Hard Work Pays Off



Push harder,
Like it's a baby,
Your trying to let out,

Fight for you life.
Get it,
Before you get out.

Science is science,
But let your work be real,
Not ficton.

This is your home,
Your goals, so focus.
Don't want an eviction notice.

Jon Otano

The topics I write about are very diverse, so are the poetry styles I apply. I started writing poetry in high school in 05. I had written some poetry during class and showed some of my classmates who enjoyed it! I then was chosen to have my poetry in the school newspaper for each month! I done a lot of my work in the library. I met a woman who i showed my work to that worked there, and she said she knew a man that works on the radio! Then i was able to read two poems off the radio. A news reporter who appeared on the station as well decided to do a report on me and I've been writing ever sense. :) If Anybody want to friend request me on Facebook feel free too! Just look up Jon Otano I should be easy to find! :) more…
