So, for a long time I've noticed a lot of people really like poetry. Not necessarily reading it, but writing it seems to be pretty popular. That's what inspired me to write these poems. Poetry is often used to express emotion, and I have a lot of emotions. For example, sometimes I get sad. Really sad. Doesn't that suck? Here are some poems I wrote.

Poems I Wrote

"Sometimes I feel sad
Really sad
Doesn't that suck?
I think so."

So, as you can see, this poem was written with a particular feeling in mind. I was thinking about the part in the Producers where Mathew Broderick sings about dancing because of feeling Nathan Lane's magic. It made me think of how I'd feel if a sweaty fat man hugged me.

"I once ate a coin
I was about 4
I was playing
and it just happened
I think it was a dime"

This poem is about how it's a waste to lose money by trusting it to young people.

"I also ate a marble
it was pretty small
I remember it was clear
and it had a rainbow swirl
It went down pretty quickly"

I wrote this poem while I was on a date. My first date, actually, and I think it really reflects my emotional state at the time; I wanted something fun and colorful in my life, and what I did at the time, both when I swallowed the marble and when I chose to go on the date, it wasn't the way to go.

"Do you know those Kinex toys?
I think that's how it's spelled
I ate a piece of one of those too

It was a short green piece
from my brother's racecar set

I didn't mean to swallow it

I was just chewing on it
since I was bored.
Then I breathed in quickly
and it slipped in
and got caught in the back of my throat
I couldn't pull it out,
so I decided it'd be best to just swallow
and hope for the best"

This poem took a very long time for me to write. It really means a lot to me and I had some trouble expressing everything I felt and thought about the incident that inspired the poem. I think it's a good story that most people can relate to and hopefully learn from. With most of my writing, I feel helping people learn and grow as humans is definitely one of my goals, and I think that with this poem in particular I've succeeded.

"Growing up I accidentally ate a lot of things that really shouldn't be eaten by humans

My sisters would always joke about when we'd get the objects back, especially since almost none of them were digestible by human stomachs

I never noticed the objects again though

I didn't get sick
and I never felt them trying to find a way out
I never saw them again.

Maybe they're still in there?"

I'll close with that last poem. I like to leave some mysteries with my readers, and this poem has a lot of room for thoughts and speculation, so hopefully it'll keep you all thinking until my next batch of poems are done. Thank you for your time, and I hope you've learned a few things.
