Some Poems I've Written

Tell me what you think of them:

"Being a Freshman"

I’m stuck to the ground where I stand,

Mute, unable to speak.

I would try, but I don’t know

If what I say

Will make them mad.

Because who knows what they might do

Because I’m stuck to the ground,

Mute.

"Ethereal Thoughts"

My mind whirled with its capricious thoughts

And I wondered what I might do.

As I thought and I thought my ethereal thoughts,

The allure of the crux had become too much

And I wondered what I might do.

I could not circumvent the implacable thoughts

That tortured my whimsical mind.

So there I stood,

Wondering if I should

Succumb to the thoughts that troubled me.

Limericks (You probably won't understand the last two unless you go to my school):

There once was a man named Macbeth

Who thought he could cheat past his death.

He then saw the tree,

And said, “How could this be?”

And soon he would take his last breath.

A man named Barba taught Stat

And he always knew where it’s at.

He would talk about Dirk,

He’d tell jokes and he’d smirk.

Then he’d sing us a song ‘bout a cat.

There once was a girl with a cough

Who said that I liked to scoff.

But when I denied,

Her mouth would go wide:

“Are you trying to piss me off?”
