11- Write a poem about your most embarrassing moment-- Oh, do I have to? -blushes-

So, I Bought Her Some Roses
So, I was young, naive and ill equipped
(probably still am)
For what was going to come from giving her roses
A crowd surged over us
And I was unable to control
I wanted them all to leave me alone
But...they wouldn't stop

All she did was hug me
What was the big deal about?

2, 3, 7, 8

Anxious yet giddy,
ready to give this a try.
Going to move on.

12- Write a poem about the environment-- This is very late, but nonetheless let's continue!

Grasslands
So, I trek
Out to the grasslands
Hoping to see life
A lion or two

But what do I see instead?
I see the remains
Bones of once living things
Now reduced to dead organisms

I wish there was more to man
Than just killing things

12 - Poem about the environment. (Leaning towards weather here in this one)


today i straightened
my usual curls
just to peeve
a cynic.

of course, my spite
was thwarted
by "torrential
winds" -
goes to show you what happens
when i rebel against the
grain.

i wondered,
what if the
wind grew to
such an intensity
that it flung
vehicles onto
the roof of my
school gym?

"oh, wait,
that's called a tornado,
idiot."
