Poetry Was Never My Thing

And still isn't, really. I hardly ever find myself inclined to write poetry. Occasionally I'll think of a nice stanza, or even a line or two, but those usually either are never written down and remembered or just end up falling into place in something else I'm writing.

I'm going to start posting some old writing of mine every once and awhile, I think it will be fun. Here's a poem I wrote in fifth grade. As you'll quickly realize it's more of a protest than an attempt.

Tongue Twister

Something said something

so something

could do something.

The something

did something so

something could do

the something it

wanted to do.

It made the

other something

very mad.

THE SOMETHING END

When I brought this home to my parents, they were sure to take my copy and store it away, and now I see why.
