Shel got into poetry because, as he said himself, "I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn't play ball. I couldn't dance. Luckily, the girls didn't want me. Not much I could do about that. So I started to draw and to write."

Shel didn't plan on being a poet. When he was young, he actually wanted to be a baseball player.
