The troubled British singer Amy Winehouse has apparently taken up writing poetry. Inspired by her on-off lover Pete Doherty, lead rocker of the Babyshambles, she hopes her writings will put inspiration into the mind’s of children.
“Pete Doherty once told her that poetry was a good way to express yourself so she thought writing a book of poems about her life would be a fine start.” said a source close to the singer.
“Amy’s been stimulated since living in St. Lucia. She loves the chilled out atmosphere and has found it has encouraged her to write again. She really wants to write a children’s book one day so thought a book of poems would be great practice.”
Her poetry is based on her desires to be love and be loved and are deeply personal in nature. It’s even been said that she was so happy with the results that she showed her personal bodyguard in order for him to understand her more clearly.
The ‘Rehab’ star recently had an extended holiday on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, where she now plans to buy a house. Her family are hoping the island paradise will keep her away from the temptations and ex-boyfriends back home in London.
Quite how good the poems of Amy Winehouse are, is yet to be seen.

Drugs and alcohol? Rehab?
