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.

    or

    Did I really turn in the essay or not? I don't remember...

    Vulnerable

    At school

    we're doing a poetry unit.

    "Oh cool, we write poetry all the time!"

    My friend says.

    What we didn't realize, though,

    was that the teacher turned on the tap

    to our inner selves
