I want to write a poem
I am really good you see
But I have this problem
I can’t think of anything
~~~~~
I could write a poem
about a fire and a dragon
But that’s like a fairytale
I want it to be unique
~~~~
A unique poem will get me an A
My English teacher said
But how could I think
of something not already read?
~~~~
Two completely different characters
meet up one day
but that sounds obvious
They become friends~ OK?
~~~~
This is harder than I thought
I’m not so good after all
I hate this poem thing
My teacher could just give me an F
~~~~
I’ll get an F, that’s all
Then I’ll become a hobo
living in the streets alone
owning not even a pebble
~~~~
I will go to jail
for getting an F on a poem
I’ll be lonely forever
Because my poem wasn’t cool
~~~
I’ll never get to college
I’ll barely finish high school
Ill be the worst student
Everyone ever knew
~~~~
My teacher can give me an F
I don’t care a bit
That F was going to come soon anyways
So I won’t have a fit
~~~~
Wait a minute-
Hold everything-
I got an Idea
the very thing to do!
~~~~
This character got an F
That changed everything
he then went on to gangs and things
just because of her grade.
~~~~
While I was thinking
I see I wrote a poem
I don’t feel like writing another
So I think I’ll turn in this one!
