Oh it’s hard to write a poem
I don’t know how to start!
Lyric, concrete, and haiku
Sends chills down to my heart.

What shall be the title?
Will it rhyme or not?
What rhymes with Coca-Cola?
Did I write a lot?

All those perfect poets
Write poems oh-so well!
I wish I was as good as
Shakespeare, Frost or Shel.

It’s hard to write them now
But with practice that may fade.
A finer poet I will be
Then I was in seventh grade.

Hey look I wrote a poem
And it’s not bad, I must say!
It needs a little work
But it sure is worth an ‘A.’ :)

I wrote this as a project to my English teacher. Guess what I got?!! :)

It was good,and sad. You used big words like Poe does...you on the right track:)

Keep on writing and let me know when you write something new. I don't usually have time to see others works since school started, but if you do write something new, just post a reply or something here, and I'll get it through email.

Thanks for your comment!!! The next Poe? Wow! I like his work, though they are pretty dark!! Did you read any of his stuff? The Cask of Amontillado is freaky!

Mmm....I'm gonna have to read you work. :)
