A poem, a poem I've got to write. But nothing seems to come tonight. I guess I'm just not very bright When it comes to writing poems. I crumple paper sheet on sheet. I think of deadlines I'm to meet. I haven't time to sleep or eat; I've GOT to write a poem! The time ticks on --it's two o'clock Our light's the last one on the block. Perhaps if I could take walk I could better write a poem. Then suddenly I get a thought-- I put it down to the very last dot… And then I think, "It's not so hot." Why CAN'T I write a poem? But then I say, "'Twil have to do." The morn is come; the night is through. I'm tired but proud, I can tell you, 'Cause I just wrote a poem.                         ^^^

I wrote this in the 8th grade.  I only got a B because it wasn't 'serious' enough.
