He admits he would like to become a full-time poet when he grows up, but only if his first choice career - a professional footballer - does not come off.

I thought this story was so sweet and just goes to prove - Poetry is not a dead artform! It's always interesting to not when a child first becomes enamored of poetry. I think for me it was when I was in 1st grade and for Mother's Day the class made a compilation of poetry. Each student contributed one poem and we made it into a chapbook of poetry. After that point - things happened, I'd forgotten about poetry, but inevitably poetry would find me.............again.
