Make Up Blog #14: A Poem About Things I Am Bad At

Things That I Am Bad At

By Becky Smiley

Firstly I'm bad at rhyming.

I don't even know why I'm writing a poem

because I can't fricken rhyme.

Like honestly I try to rhyme but it just doesn't happen.

It's probably going to ruin my dreams of being a rap star.

Justin Bieber is all like,

"Never say never".

But too bad because I just said never

about my rap career.

Oops.

Secondly, I'm bad at writing poetry.

The thing about poetry

is that you don't even have to do anything except for

randomly

indent your lines.

See what I'm writing here? You probably don't

because nobody reads these blogs.

Except for you, Mr. Mullins! 

(Thanks, Eddie)

Anyways, it's just normal crappy speech

but somehow it's meaningful

and artistic

because I'm

indenting my lines randomly.

How do you like that? 

Are you catching the symbolism? There's lots of it.

Not really. But I'm sure you could find some

if you wanted to.

Or not.

Idk what you do in your spare time.

Once, I won a poetry contest

In 8th grade.

Basically, it was this stupid poem

about me breaking up with a cookie

and somehow the teachers thought it was comedy

so I was all like...

okay. 

And so they put it in a contest and 

BAM!

I won. 

But it was the biggest load of crap in the world

because basically i was just doing this.

Nothing rhymed, there was no symbolism or sound devices 

or anything redeeming at all.

In fact, I wrote it as a joke.

But then I won.

I won a freaking poetry contest.

So I guess you could call me a prodigy,

idk.

More likely,

you could just call people who fall for this kind of art

hipppies.

Peace Out.
