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.

    Your new-ish house

    your dog sleeping on the rug

    my family and your family chatting comfortably

    your kitchen with your hot chocolate

    the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island

    that's one of my happy places

  • Acceptance

    When we see flaws in ourselves

    we withdraw from society

    curl in on ourselves

    trying to hide from our insecurities.

    The thing is

    people struggle to understand

    that their faults are a part of themselves
