This is a poem where you are trying to convince somebody of something they don’t want to be convinced of. The poem is an argument, an attempt to persuade. Think about all the situations where you are trying to convince somebody of something: getting out of a ticket, getting mom or dad to not ground you for breaking curfew, getting a date with your dream girl/boy, getting mom or dad to give you more money, getting a teacher to let you turn in late work.
As far as form, try to use couplets throughout your poem. Also think about rhetorical strategies such as Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Appeal to the ethics, emotions, and logic of the person you are trying to seduce or persuade.
If you need some inspiration, try Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress".
Good luck!
Curfew Ticket
ReplyDeleteWhy should I be grounded for my ticket?
Can't we just forget it?
You never warned of the curfew,
Take deep breaths for a few.
We only wanted to go for a quick walk,
Just around the block.
I promise I'll never go out again,
As long as it isn't after ten.
Starbucks
ReplyDeleteFather, Father, lend me a dollar
I need a few to purchase a collar
Wrapped around a warm cup
Gulp gulp gulp
Drink it up
Good for your health and heart
Purchased from a man named Bart
I will dash across the street
And quickly purchase my drink
Starbucks
Warm, sweet, fluffy
For just a dollar fifty
Good for your health and heart
Starbucks is a work of art
My Own Cellphone
ReplyDeleteMother, Father, you are the very best
I have a question for you, I hope I'm not a pest
I want my very own cell phone,
So that I will never be alone
My very best behavior would be ever so better
Because I would be grateful to you forever
Everyone has a cell phone, it really is true
With a cellphone I could text my friends when I have the flu
If I had a cell phone I would do hundreds of chores
I would never complain about doing the dishes anymore
Please, please, this is not a jest
Buy me a cellphone to be the very best.
seven
ReplyDeleteI just want you to read the book
Its not too long, its not too short
I promise you won’t end up in court
Food, clothes, possessions, please
This experiment will be a breeze
There are seven of you, you aren’t alone
Why do you have to moan?
Let’s get excited..only a few more days
I’ll only be eating bread, potatoes and maize
Seven months of cutting back
Don’t look at me like I’m whack
Can’t you just understand
I’m going to need you close at hand
To help me through this crazy time
I know you are in your prime
Please just read the book
All I ask of you is one look
My loving parents
ReplyDeleteBecause of my achievements
I want to own a dog
A dog teaches responsibility
And if it is a possibility
I want to own a dog
It will be my job indeed
To research the right breed
I want to own a dog
I will buy it myself
And raise it myself
I want to own a dog
It will not be small
It will respond to my call
I want to own a dog
He or she will be strong at heart
And nothing will break us apart
I want to own a dog
They will be loving and kind
And never fall behind
I want to own a dog
I promise not to lead it astray
It will be at my side always
I want to own a dog
Justin bieber
ReplyDeleteI know you don't know who I am
But I can garuntee you I am your biggest fan
I think we should be together
No matter the weather
So just dump Selena
And I'll meet you at the marina
Please oh please Justin leave her
Cause your giving me bieber fever
I know it's a little late
However this is fate
I promise to take down my shrine
If you Justin Bieber will be my valentine
Keep the Trees
ReplyDeleteLook at the trees
The beautiful trees
Green clouds floating over us
Growing so big and tall
Watching over us all
I see the trees
The beautiful trees
Slowly disappearing around me
Look only one there
And there
Then
Gone
I see no trees
No beautiful trees
Nothing to see
But the wind over the seas
But wait
One
Two
Three
I see a tree
A beautiful tree
Rising up, up, up
One that as flourished and is free
Keep the trees
The beautiful trees
So they can be there always
For you and for me
Little Sister
ReplyDeletePlease just pick them up
Your toys can't help but disrupt
All across the floor they sit
Getting in the way quite a bit
It really won't take long
Although you insist I am wrong
I can see you getting mad
But I will be oh so glad
All I want is a clear floor
And maybe your toys out the door
Forget that Ticket
ReplyDeleteOfficer, officer, please forgive me
I did not want to speed, but speed I did, indeed.
Please hold back from writing that ticket,
I don’t deserve to be entangled in that horrendous thicket!
Take a deep breath and think
How I will feel when you hand it to me without even a blink.
Please hold your pen, almost touching that pad,
Because if you write that it will surely make me sad.
Officer, officer, will you please have compassion,
For if you write that ticket my face will turn ashen.
Do you want my hopes to crash, and my dreams to burn
For this little money that you will earn
From one silly little guy that sped just a bit,
And meant no harm but is now angry about it.
Oh officer, please,
I’m down on my knees!
I promise that never shall I speed again,
So long as we part now, and leave here as friends.
Open Your Ears
ReplyDeleteOpen your ears
Just go out and do it
Open your ears
And listen to real music.
Don't listen to Nicki Minaj
She is quite absurd
And listen to some Cash
That must be heard.
Now you see this poem rhymes
Just like any good rock song
It's actually because this writer
Has been listening to some Dylan too long.
Here I'll lend you my CD
So you can listen to it
Just promise me listen to it
Instead of Taylor Swift.
Open your ears
Just go out and do it
Open your ears
And listen to some real music.
Puppy Please
ReplyDeleteThe thing I have always wanted most
Since I was only a little girl
was a puppy of my very own
Please mom and dad, won't you help my dream come true?
Of a cute ball of fluff of my very own
Being my eternal friend and treasure forever
I promise to always care for this new friend
And to be there to clean up his mess
I to promise to love him and cuddle him at night
To calm him at times when he is lonely and scared
In return he will join me as I play
And struggle beside me as I run each day
When I'm bored I won't have to bug you anymore, mom and dad
Cause my friend will be there to pretend and frolick about
Oh please let me have what I've always dreamed
And grant me my dearest wish
For all I want, which is not much to ask
Is a puppy to be my friend
If you were a pencil, you’d be number one
ReplyDeleteIf I was the sky, you’d be my sun
You may fall from the sky, you may fall from a tree
But the best way to fall, is in love with me
My lines will seduce you; this I will bet
No? Then let us move on to another set
Something’s wrong with my cell phone (“oh really what is it?”)
It’s just that your number is not yet in it
If you were a booger, I would pick you first
If I was an ocean you’d never die of thirst
If kisses were leaves I would send you a tree
If love was a person I would send you me
Still haven’t fallen for my charms? Then I see it is a waste
You must be one of those people, who has very poor taste

DeleteSmith needs to buy us all MacBooks
ReplyDeleteSmith needs to buy us all MacBooks
They are so much better then Dell-Books
We all know she already hates them
She may want to pull out her brain stems
The Dells we’ll destroy or just sell ‘em
And all C11 won’t mourn ‘em
The English department is happy
The students will have a new lappy
The class will be oh so much better
The freezes and crashes are lesser
iPhoto, iMovie huzzah
We’ll rejoice with a great big “hurrah!”
Smith will never go bankrupt
The school board will make her go way up
She’ll be the best teacher in history
And smartness won’t become a mystery
Country Music livens the soul
ReplyDeleteIt raises the flag up the pole.
Soulful, small-town songs that illustrate a simple life
They show emotions from love to joy to inner strife.
Country is relatable and understandable
The great country community is respectable.
Artists speak to the heart of America’s beliefs
To me, the simple tunes and good lyrics are reliefs.
Singers relay personal experience and stories,
From tales of tribulations to gloating of past glories.
Without Country Music where would we be?
Who knows, we might be fighting World War Three!
A crystal blue sapphire,
ReplyDeleteI cloudless bluebird day
My body turns fire
When you look at me that way
I need your arms around me
I need to feel your touch
I love the way my heart feels free
I want you here too much
The scarlet shining on your lips
Is much too bright for me to bear
My mind is put into eclipse
To kiss you would cause me loss of air
When I see you here with me
When I feel you in my arms
My heart feels a sudden esprit
I am caught by your every charm
From the moment that I saw you
To the moment that I die
Your lovely eyes pierce right through
My heart which makes me feel like I touch the sky.
It’s Not Free?
ReplyDeleteWhat? No! I thought it was free!
What is your reason to do this to me?
That car had a price?
Where was that advice?
I can’t believe this!
This problem’s amiss!
When was this any law!
I’m already in awe!
I will make a fuss!
I can’t ride the bus!
I haven’t paid before, so why should I now?
To my great lawyer, you will take a bow!
This car I will take!
Or your back I will break!
I will fight this battle!
No wait! Do not tattle!
No! Don’t call police!
I will take the lease!
I am obsessed with you
ReplyDeleteI don’t know what to do
I have tried everything
From Google, Yahoo, and Bing
Alas, for they are no help
If I don’t tell you soon I’m afraid I might yelp
I’ve had these feelings for quite awhile
I have nothing to do, but to simply beguile
I’ve liked you for oh so long
That’s right, my love is that strong
I’d cross rivers and oceans and climb a mountain
If only to see you again
To gaze into your eyes
For they are as blue as the skies
To hold you near
To lose you I fear
If only I could get the nerves
To complement you on your curves
Why, I would say to you, if only to please you more
“thy beauty is to me like those Nicean barks of yore”
There, I’ve said it, that much is done
But do you feel the same way, or has this all been for none?
Every time I see you,
ReplyDeletemy heart skips a beat.
There are butterflies in my stomach,
No one can compete.
My thoughts get all scrambled,
I strain to talk to you,
but once I start speaking,
my words are very few,
There are a million thoughts,
going through my head,
But I can't say what's on my mind
I'm sure my face turns red.
Afterwards, I say goodbye,
dwelling on my shame,
waiting 'til the next time,
my love for you I will proclaim.
Three Earrings
ReplyDeleteI know you never want to hear,
How great I’ll look with sparkly ears,
But trust me when I tell you this,
Three piercings equal teenage bliss.
Those dishes- they’ll be gone today!
Headaches? They’re so yesterday!
I’ll leave my shoes there at the door,
And make quick work of every chore.
How about foot-rubs before bed?
I’ll paint your nails the perfect red,
So mommy dearest, sweetie pie,
You’re just the best, I wouldn’t lie,
I love you forever, can’t you hear?
I’ve got three piercings in my ear.
Dearest Mom and dearest Dad,
ReplyDeleteLet me speak, but don’t get mad.
You see, I desperately need a dollar.
It’s not that much, we don’t live in squalor.
Just a simple crisp green bill in my hand,
It’s the only thing I’ll every demand.
“Why, why, why?” you say.
Well, I’ll tell you and maybe you’ll sway.
With a dollar I could buy
A perfect pumpkin pie.
Or maybe even some pixie dust.
Oh please, please, please I just must.
With that dollar I’ll be rich.
Keep listening to my sales pitch.
I could become a princess and buy a castle
That has purple curtains with gold tassels.
Oh and a rocket ship would be quite nice.
I would fly to Pluto, yes that will suffice.
So many things I could do
With that dollar, who knew?
You’re saying no?
But I thought you loved me so.
Remember that one time a while ago?
You said I would get a prize since I let it go.
Well now I want my prize.
Just stop with your lies.
Still no? I should have known.
I’ll remember that next time you need help with your smartphone.
To Professor Albus Dumbledore
ReplyDeleteI have something of you that I must implore
My Hogwarts acceptance letter is nearly five years late
Though my hopes have had yet to completely dissipate
Did the owl lose his way as he traveled to my home?
Perhaps the ever-changing winds caused him to roam
So I plead that you mend this error very quickly
Surely my House still has an open spot for me
I can assure you that in each subject I’ll succeed
As my expectations of Hogwarts never began to recede
Pie vs. Pi
ReplyDeleteCrunchy, chocolaty, creamy goodness
Or complicated calculating and computing.
Mocha, white, and tan swirling together-
A slice of heaven
Or the glaring white paper with black squiggly lines-
Taunting you to solve them.
A savory smell sailing out of the oven-
Tickling your senses.
Or a dark ominous cloud, cloaking the room of darkness and misery-
Leaving frustration and confusion in its wake.
So what will it be?
The choice resides with you.
Will you accept the warm hand of goodness,
Or the fist of heartless mathematics?
Poems, not today, yuck
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to write one
But maybe you'll gain some luck
Trust me, they're really quite fun
Sure they sound hard
But once you get going
You'll be writing a yard
You'll be so good, the words will be flowing
So don't go home crying
We all know your lying
Now go to Smith's blog page
And your poem could be the next rage
Facebook-
ReplyDeleteDearest Mom and Dad~
You obviously do not care
About the burden that I bear
Nor the lack of communication
That I have when I am on vacation
Or the people I don’t know
Oh you cause me so much woe!
Just do me one favor
And save me the labor
From being closed off
While the world just scoffs
And take one look
At the network called Facebook!
Why Save a Life
ReplyDeleteI know that you are in pain
But please try to restrain
from these urges you are feeling;
only then will begin the healing
You need to be surrounded by friends
to help stop you from journey’s end
Until you feel that you are okay
I will prey and prey
because if this world you leave
We all will grieve and grieve
No one can live without you
because who knew
that you are the reason for the sunshine
because you are part of God’s design
to stay and be loved and love
until the love you are sick of
But stay on this earth
until death due us part
or I will have a loneliness in my heart
that can never be replaced
without your radiant face
I never want you to leave us here
because without you we’re
without purpose.
Dearest Hogwarts Headmaster,
ReplyDeleteMy letter should have come nearly five years ago
That's alright, I'll forgive you, though
Just send it right away
Let there be no delay
Send your very quickest owl
And make sure it is no Howler
Just let me walk those hallowed halls
I want to see the moving paintings and walls
Hogwarts is my home, I am entirely sure of that
I long to enter the Great Hall and put on the Sorting Hat
Maybe I'll be a Gryffindor
Home of the boy with the scar
Or perhaps a Slytherin
Among the sly I could find my kin
Perchance I'd be a Ravenclaw
Where there surely is no flaw
Or I could be a Hufflepuff
(Though enduring that teasing could be tough)
All I know is I do have magic
It could be the school's, you could have it
Hogwarts is where I really belong
There is nothing for which I equally long
I want to sail on broomstick through the sky
And you don't want to miss me or pass me by
When I think of Hogwarts, I think of home
Just let me in, I know I'll belong
My love for you,
ReplyDeleteIs tried and true,
Yet still I can’t call you mine,
Even though we together would be divine,
Sailing the high seas,
Feeling the salty breeze
Laughing and talking under the sun,
Life with you would be so much more fun!
The sweetest dream will never do,
Unless it’s with you.
So my heart to you I consign,
Oh Captain Jack Sparrow, won’t you be mine?!
You may not know it,
ReplyDeleteI try not to show it,
I love the way you make me feel,
Just don't break my heart, it may not heal.
All the words you haven't heard,
Because I'm too afraid to say them,
But with you it takes just one word,
And the rest of the world goes dim.
You may not see it,
I can't help but feel it,
I love every smile I get to see,
Just wondering if any were because of me.
All these feelings, I wish I was sure,
Because you make me doubt,
But maybe you'll stay with me and not her,
Because you, I cannot live without.
Mom, Dad please get me a puppy
ReplyDeleteIf you did I promise to be so lucky
All it would need is some love and food
I thought I would call him my little precious dude.
I would walk him for an hour every single day
Maybe even take a run around the closest bay.
I would train him to do many, many tricks
Possibly five or maybe even six.
He would be my best friend
And countless hours we would spend.
So please mom and dad get me a puppy
And I promise you would be the ones who will be lucky.
Give me an A
ReplyDeleteHear me out, oh mighty tester,
I have served you for a humble semester.
Working hard was always my goal,
Now my effort may go down the hole.
Why would anyone be so cruel,
And stop me so close to my jewel?
Night and day, I have prayed,
That I may have that revered grade.
Only you can save me from my despair,
Oh please forget that last questionnaire.
I implore you just once more,
To be my brave commodore.
Only one point you must donate,
It can’t be too hard to locate.
This is all I have to say,
Oh please, give me an A.
You might not want to hear this,
ReplyDeleteBut in my heart, something is amiss.
And I do believe its you, my dear,
But hearing no is my deepest fear
It’s been a long time that I’ve felt this way
But I just can’t find the words to say.
We’re like birds of a feather,
Were we meant to be together?
You’ve watched my best and seen my worst,
For your charm, I’ve tumbled headfirst,
The laughs and pain we have been through,
Why isn’t it obvious to you?
We’d stay up whispering all night
And talk about our dreams of flight
We really are two of a kind.
Can you really be so blind?
I want so badly for you to know,
But I’m much too scared to tell you so.
I think of you when I hear the love songs,
Why isn’t it obvious to whom my heart belongs?
You may not think that I’m the one,
But when everything is said and done,
A perfect pair, that’s you and me,
Can’t you see everything we could be?
Love
ReplyDeleteIt controls us
It makes our decisions
It embodies us
You control me
You are the reason for my decisions
Your love embodies me
Love takes time
It takes patience
It takes passion
My love for you took time
I had to be patient
Now I love you with a passion
Love gives us butterflies
It gives us sweaty hands
It gives us someone to day-dream about
You give me butterflies
You give me sweaty hands
I day-dream about our love
Love is a fantasy
Our love is a fantasy
I Cordially Invite You to Mexico with Me
ReplyDeleteOnce before it has occurred
But I had left without a word
I extended an offer
But the reply was not her!
I need you to please understand
That the resort is safely manned
I can assure your parentals
That there will be all the necessary essentials
There will be no thugs
Or too many bugs
We would have a blast
Unfortunately it would quickly be past
Nine days full of tanning and the beach
How could anyone possibly screech
Palapa bars and swim up bars
As long as we don’t end up behind bars in police cars
It would all be great fun
Fun in the sun
I hope to go back as soon as possible
I want there to be no obstacles
There is already an automatic invitation waiting for you
When I do go, all I need you to do is say I do
Please Fishy,
ReplyDeleteDon’t die on me,
not yet.
I realize I haven’t fed you since Christmas.
I mean, you are so much fun to play with!
I know you can’t see me through your filthy tank that I haven’t cleaned.
I mean, you are such a beautiful creature.
You must be getting tired of all the other fish I own dying around you. Like living in a graveyard.
I mean, ya its too bad your friends aren’t making it very long.
But please, please, please, please, please, please Fishy,
Don’t die on me, not just yet.
Snow, Snow go away
ReplyDeleteCome again another day
I urge you clouds, clear up the sky
So it is safe for the birds to fly
We don’t need the blistering cold
Between you and me it’s getting kind of old
Time is near to shed the coats
I’m taking out the sunblock to ride the boats
Santa has come and he’s done with his work
The lightning bugs should come to twinkle and lurk
So I will make the deal with you, please bring the sun
I cannot wait much longer, bring on the fun
Cake
ReplyDeleteYou swore me off several months ago,
Due to a stupid diet
It's okay to break it, though
One piece of me, just try it
Think of my luscious chocolate kiss
Topped with smooth whipped cream
Oh, I know you're dying for this
Though your jeans might split at the seams
I may be filled with calories
I'll bump you up a size
But I'm topped with sweet, delicious Hershey's
Although, it will go to your thighs
Oh, but I'm filled with sugary riches
My outside, encased in fudge
Who cares that you'll need a pair of new britches
I'm better than that salad sludge
So take a bite of my sweetness dear,
Savor the lovely taste
Take a bite, with no fear
You can't let me go to waste
Oh, I know you want me
I can see it in your eyes
I know that you can't let me be
Much to your demise
Come on, you little weakling
I know you'll take a bite
Oh, I'm sorry, sweet thing
Please, ignore my spite
Okay, let's make a compromise
Just one piece you'll take
They say I'm a heart attack in disguise
I am the chocolate cake.
My Love for You
ReplyDeleteYou and I were meant to be together
Since the first grade with ol’ Mrs. Heather
I have had eyes only for you
Without, I would be very blue
With your tan skin, golden hair and deep blue eyes
You’re just as beautiful outside, no surprise
Deep is my love for you,
Deeper than ocean blue
You’ll be my shining light
And I’ll be your bold knight
So accept my humble plea
Will you go out with me?
*One Day*
ReplyDeleteOne day we'll meet like it's for the first time.
It'll be as if nothing is complicated, as if nothing is a climb.
No matter the differences between you and I,
Together we'll float, like a balloon, through the sky.
One day we'll share adventures people will write about.
These times will be treasured, of that there is no doubt.
Different can be good and different can be bad.
But I assure you, one day, you won't forget the experiences we've had.
You could dissect every thought while I dwell on none.
You could always finish your food first when I'm far from done.
Maybe I'll get gutsy at the completely wrong times.
And you'll always be fearless when the timing is sublime.
One day we'll be as far from perfect as we can be;
For perfection is not unique, but implies uniformity.
Although we'll balance out each other nicely,
Perfection is boring and we'll never fit concisely.
Differences are what captivate, not what set apart.
One day they'll bring us together and mold one heart.
When we're old, walking down the street, hand in hand,
We'll know there are absolutely no hardships we can't withstand.
We'll forget the differences and promise to never stray;
Promise to still see beauty in each other, even with our skin wrinkled and our hair gray.
So give us a chance to be all this and more,
And, one day, we'll be like two mockingbirds, with the wind in our wings; together, as we soar.

ReplyDeleteThe Letter of Acceptance
ReplyDeleteNow I grasp that I may not be the smartest
But I have truly tried my hardest.
I sent my application months ago,
I am not certain if that is an answer of yes or no.
So I beg to you today,
To reconsider of how I have been portrayed
For this college has been a tradition
In my family it has become an ambition,
To be accepted to you oh college of success.
I have really accomplished much progress,
Of how I carry myself with confidence and zest
To do whatever it takes to make you become impressed.
So I beg to you today,
To reconsider the rejection you made,
Months ago for so it has been declared
That you tossed aside my only dream like you did not care.
Oh college of great glory
Will you please accept a girl who is so dearly sorry
For not being the typical student desired
Of a college who is so admired.
Please review this application
That has been improved to a level of admiration.
Sincerely,
A despairing but hopeful girl
M83 is by far my favorite band,
ReplyDeleteNot going to their concert is something I won’t stand.
I’ll ask you just once, or maybe more
If you say “no” it might start a war.
Going to this concert would complete my life,
If you said “yes” for once it would end our long strife.
I’m not even joking or trying to be funny.
This is something I need, I’ll even pay with my own money.
M83 coming to Denver was obviously fate,
Once all is done I’ll revert back to my natural state.
Any Spare Change?
ReplyDeleteDearest Mother,
Finest Father,
Could you possibly spare a dollar?
I have found myself just a little shorted,
But does that mean my purchase must be thwarted?
I have not cried or whined,
And I sure hope not to be denied.
Is it really okay to forget,
The dearest son which you swore to never regret?
Could you look at yourself in the mirror?
Knowing you left him at the rear?
So I beg of you please,
It would only be a breeze,
Spare this poor child some change,
Or all the other adults may consider you strange.
My True Love...
ReplyDeleteFrom the first time you walked into my class
my heart skipped a beat
your justin bieber hair flip
makes me swoon
I could fall into your eyes
I just want to stare into them
ALL DAY
Sometimes I picture that one day
You will professe
Your love
For Me
I know you feel it too
dont be scared
Jump
Jump with me!
We can live together
In love
Having adventures
Living for each other
I love you.
Parkour is the best,
ReplyDeleteYou can wear a sweater vest,
As you fly through the air,
Don't worry it won't mess up your hair,
It is a sport, it's really fun,
Do not worry you wont be shunned,
You should try parkour, you really should,
Because i know, that you could,
Learn all the things you see me do,
And the people wouldn't dare to boo.
You should try Parkour, you really should!
Last Hope
ReplyDeleteI sent my job application in months ago
My greatest fear is the answer might be no
I know I don't posses several necessary skills
But I need the money to pay my bills
I have two children and a wife
I'm doing my best to give them a good life
I've tried to get a job for the past year
Not being able to support my family is my greatest fear
So please reconsider your acceptance of me
I promise I'll work my hardest and to my best ability
If I don't get this job I fear the worst to come
Eviction, poverty, and the loss of my family are difficult to think of
Please I plead, life without a job is gonna be rough
So please Best Buy manager reconsider your choice
i hope you can hear me out, I hope you can hear my voice
This is my last chance, this is my last hope
If I don't succeed my family and I will mope
I beg you to think about what you’re going to do
I leave you with this thought what would Jesus do?
Our Gift
ReplyDeleteIlluminated in the light,
your face so sweet, so calm, so bright.
Eyes so sensual, it makes my head spin—
now I’m waiting on gravity to just pull me in.
Attraction so strong, a magnetic force,
held back by fear and a touch of remorse.
Seeing the want in my eyes,
your heart starts to rise.
I’m your break from reality,
that small chance for morality.
Together at last, finally beating the odds—
take a chance on the love that was a gift straight from God.
To succeed in a life so enchanting and free,
so come, take a breath, and be with me.
Dear mom and dad
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I've been so bad
But poetry is not my fad
Yet please don't give up hope
Believe in me, I won't be a dope
Dive into a clear pool
ReplyDeleteEveryday after school
The world disapears
No longer in up to your ears
Keeps you in shape
Which helps you feel great
With a great big splash
You are gone in a flash
Never any fear
The world seems so clear
The Van
ReplyDeleteBy: Troy Golding
Wanna get in the van
I am just a harmless man
No I cannot talk to you
I have to go to…
Get in the van and lets have some fun
There is a lot of candy and not a single gun
That does not sound so bad
Candy actually keeps me from being sad
C’mon just get in the van
I will drive it as fast as I can
Sounds like a jolly time
Have you ever committed a crime
Of course not silly
Unless a crime is a wet willy
I still do not know about this
I better go talk it over with my sis
Hurry and get in before I leave
I have all this candy to heave
Oh I guess I can come with you
By the way I have the flu
Nevermind little girl, go on and play
I will have to find another child to abduct today
A poem should not persuade but reveal consequence.
