Free verse- a CURSE.
My
ANCIENT
English teacher told me
In
English class
Today
That we had
To do
A
Poetry
Project.
And
WHAT
did she assign me?
Free verse.
Not just a free verse.
A free verse about
MYSELF.
And I sat at my
Computer
This morning
With my pinkies
On the semi-colon
And
The
A
And I thought
A
Lot
About what to say.
And I thought
"I'm blonde
Should I write
About
That?
I'm
Short,
Is
That
What
My poem
Will
Be
About?
But my
Stupid,
Stubborn
Free-verse
Just
Would not
Come out.
So after coaxing
And
Calling
And pulling
Its hair.
I've just gone
And
Left
It
There.
So, my
ANCIENT
English
Teacher,
Ma'am.
Feel free
To bump
My grade
Down
To
A
D minus.
I won't whine or pout
Cuz my
Stupid
Stubborn
Free-verse
Just would
Not
Come
Out.
B-
Good effort, Emily!
And I'm NOT that old.
Sincerely,
Ms. Adams
