I’m NOT a Poet!

By Matthew Wilke

Writing a poem

Is as painful as heartbreak

I must stop soon

For goodness sake

I remember a poem

We had to write for Ms. Stott

I told her ‘I’m not a poet!

No, I am not.’

That didn’t stop the assignment

We got it anyway

So now I sit and wonder

Do you think I got an A?

So please, enough of this

I’m tired of poems and rhyme

It’s time to move on

I’m tired of wasting time.
