Poetry, oh poetry, why not sing to me?1
You, oh muse of rhymes, seem to bring others glee.2
But, as my pencil touches page and scrolls these unknown words,3
My mind turns blank as ideas leave, no use to you I serve.4
Oh serve, oh word, they do not rhyme! Oh, how you dishearten me so.5
Even as I force this on you, I feel I'm hitting a low,6
Of poerty, oh my! oh me! What odd interjections I use to express,7
the frustraion you put me through, it places me in quite a mess.8
How dreadful this poem is, I must apologize.9
I will stop now, but still know not how10
To sing the song of poetry.11
Author notes
I do apologize for this dreadful excuse fro a poem. This is what a math class does to you, bores you to the point that you'll write anything. I read this to my sister, and she thought it was funny and told me to post it, so I did. I hope I amused you.

I'm happy you liked it.
I don't usually write poetry, but I want to. That's why I wrote this. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the comment.

This was definetely different, but I must point out that the first two lines rhymed, then nothing else did, was that intentional? Or just coincidence?
ALl and all it was not that bad, being that I would rather do anything than math as well, I understand the boredom which this came out of.

hahahahahah.. this made laugh! i liked it a lot!

Bueno!
To be honest, I found this to be rather deep. You're writing a poem about poetry, somehow making it flow while expressing your frustration of its lack of it. Brilliant.
One thing occurred to me as well, if you really thought it was dreadful, why would you post it? Perhaps that was your point, I don't know.
Either way, cute poem =) We have all been there.

Haha this poem was funny and fun. Great job! I actually thought of shel Silverstein when I read this as well.

Thank you for the comment, although, ha ha, again, I do not amount to Shel Silverstein.

WOw, Shel Silverstien? Hardly, but thank you for the comliment. Genny actaully made the exact same comparison, but, ha ha, I'm nothing like him. For starters, this is what, my second poem ever?
