I'm not entirely sure I would consider any event in my life to be story or poetry worthy. The lack of dragons and explosions and punching is probably why. 

I suppose if I was forced to pick a single event to write a story about it would be...no I seriously can't think of anything. I guess I could write about going to Texas and how it was terrible, but it's a pretty boring story. Or I could write about how Florida is cursed and every time I go there some thing obnoxious happens. 

Poetry is easier, there's less need to tell an original story. One of my friends who writes lyrics for a living said that writing poetry is often about "bridging the gap between what is personal oand what is universal". This is why so many love songs and break up songs appeal to us. They contain details that give us a vivid depiction of a specific relationship but are also vague enough that we can consider them to apply to us. So for poetry,  I could write about previous relationships, or friends who have moved away, or being sick with the flu.
