Phoenix Rising Poetry Guild famous person you've seen or met

John Green

October 2015, first StoryCon in Minnesota,
he seemed like a scrawny kid, though almost 40,
tall and thin, bespectacled, somewhat shy,
wearing jeans, plaid shirt and sneakers.
When he entered, the nerds went crazy.
Most knew him from the Vlogbrothers,
a YouTube show done with brother Hank,
that has a following of millions.
He made Time’s 2014 Top 100 influential people.
He has written four best-sellers for young adults.
One book has become a movie with another in the making.
“Don't forget to be awesome!” he says.
He sets the example
with Project for Awesome
when he raises money for worthy causes.
You never know what one person can do, 
until you try.
