Things I didn't know I liked

I never knew I liked 

   The smell of dew

At the early hours of the morning

   Or the twinkling stars 

That light up the night sky


I never knew I liked

   Making my bed

Until it made me feel productive

   Or putting down electronics

Until it made me focus on the simpler things


I never knew I liked

   Asparagus 

Till grandma made me try it on Christmas 

   Or cooking for myself 

Until it made me feel accomplished


I guess I didn’t know 

I like a lot of things

I  

  Do 

       Know 

                Now

I was glad I got the opportunity to choose any time of poem style for this. This poem is about how I was first unsure about some of these ideas, but soon began to love the things I didn't know I liked. Although this poem highlights my interets, hobbies, and things I like; it also highlights the progress I've made with some of these ideas like on lines 9 and 10.
