Okay, so I just mentioned on my message board that I was watching the "important videos" playlist instead of writing a poem that I was supposed to write for English, but I was on video 270 when I realized I should really hop on it. So, this was the poem that I ended up writing, and I don't hate it. But, I'll let you guys read it and give me your opinions.

Monkey

They say to me,

"Go write a poem, it isn't hard to do"

I try and try and cannot seem to find

Anything worthy of putting on paper.

"It is only your feelings. Just write what you see."

But I don't see things as beautiful

As others may see.

I don't ever have time

To stop and stare. Only the time

To wish I did.

Maybe then, this would be full.

Full of metaphors of life's brevity.

Full of happiness, sadness, love, anger.

Instead here I sit, staring at a screen.

No longer even trying to provide

A rhythm or rhyme to help it flow.

I am banging desperately on the letters

Hoping that something, anything

Resembling poetry will result.

Maybe. Possibly. Somehow

This monkey will accidentally

Type out "Hamlet".

Hopefully the teacher will accept a poem that is about my inability to write poetry, lolololol.

Have a good night!
