A/N: this is probably my first REAL shot at poetry. It’s a little corny, but go easy on me, ok? I did this for the fourth grade poetry contest. It lost… but I’d like to know what other people think of it.

***********************************************************************************************************************

The stars are bright up in the sky

and when it’s dark, I close my eyes

its then I wish upon a star

for things I want that seem so far.

It’s only then I dream the dream

of what I want…or so it seems

I wish for things like toys and clothes

nintendo games…is what I’ve chose

I wish for A’s on tests with ease

no reading, no studying..I’d pass with a breeze.

It’s nice to wish for all these things

no work, no effort…and still it brings

the fun, the joy and happy thoughts.

A passing moment…..it seems a lot

But, when some time has gone by,

I stop and look up in the sky

I find the "work" that I have done,

brings to me, so much fun.

A sense of pride in what I gain,

usually comes with a little pain.

To earn the things that I achieve

Is more for me………I believe.

But,…..still at night, I’ll look up high,

To find a star, up in the sky…..

A/N: tell me what you guys think, ok? I'm probably not going to write anymore poetry… but I'm working one other poem right now.

I may put it up if you like this one, but I may not put it up at all. I have to finish it first…then I'll decide.

All your reviews count!!
