Poems from Third Grade

Usually my poetry

sucks

and it will often be horrible

but that may just be my poems from

3rd grade

where we were learning online

and no one had any secrets in their family.

Actually, now that I think about it

all of my work from 3rd grade was

terrible

and lacking in indentation

any sort.

So now

I make sure that either I am actually in the mood for

poem-ing (Is that a word? It better be a word, after the "secretism" incident...)

or

I make it widely known

that my poems are

terrible.

    Dear Musketeers,

    You two have entered my life at different times

    yet you both mean the world to me

    I dread separation -

    the battle between boredom and loneliness cancels out everything else and I miss your everyday comments on the world
