POST #10: NEW PIECE-

This is my new original piece that I decided to write. During the year we did not get to a unit about poetry and I think it’s really fun to write. I’ve only written a few short poems in my life so I decided why not try one more. I was sitting at home, bored, not doing anything and I got an idea. There is so much to say about my long and happily successful journey through school, so I decided to write about it. Whenever I read poems, whenever they rhyme, I feel they are more fun to read. I thought and thought and tried hard to get each line to rhyme with each other. I had fun writing this and I hope it sounds alright.

The Long Journey

It was that very first time,

I walked in, was scared but it was fine.

The start of a long journey had begun,

I already wanted to be done.

All these little kids running around.

I didn’t see my mom, so I didn’t make a sound.

I wondered what I was doing there,

the stare on my face was quite bare.

The fifth grade had ended,

I was a big girl I pretended.

Year after year I started to grow up,

the teacher taught us to erupt.

Each year I learned so much,

now I feel like I got the touch.

To the middle school I went,

it was more difficult to an extent.

I met some very nice teachers,

and became a nice young creature.

The friends I started to make was my favorite part,

doing homework with them everyday was a start.

Three years went by,

We left middle school with a big goodbye.

The next step was High School,

excited to finally be “cool.”

We started out as the little freshman,

and with hard work,

became the big clerk.

Senior year began,

we were on our way to the big plan.

Graduation was our next step,

the hard work needed to show through much prep.

In less than a month,

walking the stage is my next fist pump.

The diploma in my hand will be well deserved,

without motivation and support it would have swerved.

Couldn’t be more happy than I am right now,

the journey has ended with a bow.

The next step gets harder and harder,

life is ahead, what a starter.

College is going to be a difficult time,

but with hard work, I’ll be prime.

The plan after college is to be an accountant,

The money is there to keep me from frowning.

Without friends and family I couldn’t do it,

A smile is on my face to show them, to prove it.
