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

punctuation

grammar of

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.

  • Cocoon of Solitude

    Warm,

    toasty,

    happy in my

    cocoon of solitude

    where no one bothers me

    while I read and snuggle by myself,

    wrapped up in blankets

    hidden in pillows

    engulfed in stuffed animals.

    Peace,

  • Your friends

    Some of us

    will push and push to get closer

    others

    will nudge gently and give up

    but I don't try to do either

    I want to wait patiently until you let me in

    closer

    before you close up

  • Stuck

    Each poem

    each message

    deleted

    one

    after

    the other.

    The words don't flow freely anymore,

    now slow and sticky

    not flying out my fingers in their regular way.

    I can't make it work
