This was written by Jan Joseff Genduso during English period. The rest of the class was reading The Soul of the Great Bell by Lafcadio Hearn. Jan was "most probably" not. And so classroom might as well have his output here.
So you think poem
making is easy?
No, it is enough
to make you queasy.
It's tough enough
to find some rhymes,
avoiding words like
orange, like limes.
A big Vocab is
such a must,
common words
are nothing but dust.
Keep verses
within your reach,
you must make verses
four lines each.
O'er and o'er
Again and a'ain
Apostrophes will keep you
from syllabic dis'ain.
Keep margins close,
not a centimeter stray,
problems in poems
are a diverse array.
When your done
with your so-called "masterpiece,"
criticism will come,
ripping you piece by piece.
Keep your hopes up,
and hope critics are kind;
poem making is enough
to lose your mind.
Are you insane yet?
Strange voices and
sounds all around.
Crying and frustration,
they abound.
Now, drop that gun
and drop the knfe,
don't use those
to end your silly strife.
Poem making can
make the brain grind;
don't let it take over
body and mind.
Some more tips
for the poem maker,
hold on, put down
that leaf raker.
Try to fill lines
with meaningful words,
feelingless words come
in groups and herds.
If the poem stinks,
don't lose heart,
grab your pen
and go back to the start.
If your new poem
doesn't turn heads,
please, do not rip
yourself to shreds.
Wait. What's that rope,
and why's it around your neck?
Don't kill yourself
over a little speck.
Hey, where are you going?
Don't drop your guard!
Oh, well. Poem making
is hard.
