This poem lead me to write many other poems. This poem is so special to me, I have it memorised in my head!

Lonely
If you're feeling lonely and you don't have any friends,
It doesn't matter, it's not the end.
Just play with me, you'll be alright,
Not sad, just happy and bright.
So if you're feeling lonely you know what to do,
You can still play even if you're seventy-two!

I am not going to criticize a seven year old's work unless it was super dreadful,
and this for the record was quite exceptional for a seven year old.

This is pretty adorable, especially the last line. My favorite line is the second, when you're saying it's not the end. It's Great for being written by a seven year old.

Hey there!
So you were seven when you wrote this?
Awesome!
I wrote poetry when I was seven too, but I wasn't this good.
Actually, I don't even think I do good in poetry, that's why I don't write it . HAHA.

Nice job!

Thanks, I corrected it. I wrote this for a poetry competition but didn't have the guts to submit it.

For a seven-year-old's work, this is phenomenal! There is just one mistake, which I am sure is a typo; in the first line, you wrote "lonel" instead of "lonely." Did you revise this recently? If so, I'd like to see what the original looked like; it's hilarious to see how little kids write. Anyway, this is very cute. Nice work!
