Poetry by Emily
Frustration
I’m trying to write a poem for English class
I hope I won’t flunk or totally crash
I can’t believe people write poems for fun
I already hate this and I’ve hardly begun
Writing poetry is so not my thing
I’m biting my nails and twisting my ring
I’d rather do math, which I desperately hate
I wish if I glared, this poem would disintegrate
I bet my friends aren’t struggling with this
Not having this assignment would be pure bliss
My mind starts to drift as I sit here and moan
Oh why do I have to write this poem?
This cannot be healthy, it’s hurting my brain
I swear that this poem will make me insane
Hey look at this I am almost done!
That wasn’t so bad, I’ll write another one.
Wave
Swelling up like a wave to come crashing down
This sadness at the thought of never seeing you again
The feelings of joy and sorrow set in
Even though you are gone I still feel you around
Thinking of you gone brings to my face, a frown
There are no words to describe how sad I’ve been
Some days I still expect you to walk in
Seeing your pictures makes me feel down
Why must you die for me to realize how much I love you?
Remembering the good times make my heart break in half
Sometimes remembering you makes me laugh
At other times it makes me want to break a rock in two
I will miss you forever
I will miss your forever
Daffodils
Blooming in the spring,
Bright, yellow, happy today
Are the daffodils
A Mouse
With a little jump,
Scamper and leap, running fro
A mouse goes home.
