Persuasive/ Seduction Poem
This is a poem where you are trying to convince somebody of something they don’t want to be convinced of. The poem is an argument, an attempt to persuade. Think about all the situations where you are trying to convince somebody of something: getting out of a ticket, getting mom or dad to not ground you for breaking curfew, getting a date with your dream girl/boy, getting mom or dad to give you more money, getting a teacher to let you turn in late work.
As far as form, try to use couplets throughout your poem. Also think about rhetorical strategies such as Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Appeal to the ethics, emotions, and logic of the person you are trying to seduce or persuade.
If you need some inspiration, try Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress".
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteCome on mom hop along
ReplyDeletelet’s go dad it’s been so long
give me a reason not to go
and i will throw it aside as if its my foe
please let us travel to the place
where hall of famers are enshrined in a gold case
and the sunsets are pretty as you, mom
orange red and pink just as if we were in guam
your life is all about baseball, dad
and the home of baseball wants you bad
ruth, robinson, and mays are awaiting us
all we have to do is hop on the bus
we can play ball until night fall
Cooperstown is inviting us all
Money is meant to be spent
ReplyDeleteLet’s pay for rent
Let’s travel to Spain
Where I can make it rain
At least it’s for tennis
And not Guiness
I won’t complain
I’ll be smart with my brain
I’ll try my best
I’ll compete with the rest
It will be so much fun
You can bathe in the sun
It will be totally worth it
We just have to commit
Spain’s a great place
There’s plenty of space
It’s just a vacation
That will leave a fabulous sensation
So can we please go?
Even though it will cost some dough?

ReplyDeletePersuasive Poem
People should really stop smoking
to stop themselves from choking
It slowly makes you die
The fact that its cool is a lie
Your lungs will turn black
and you will wretch and hack
Its smells awfully bad
and you when you die you will be sad
It affects everyone around
when you make that slow inhaling sound
Especially when you blow out the smoke
It makes everyone else choke
Your may lose your voice
all because of one stupid choice
Persuasive Poem
ReplyDeleteWhen A candidate wins
He gives a speech with a grin
When a nation doesn’t agree
With who the next president will be
The Electoral College
Gives the people no knowledge
Who the majority went to
It just seems like a pile of poo
If more votes go to a cantidate
But yet that person will liquidate
Due to the fact that they lost
They have to refund the cost
So use the popular vote
To get an accurate quote
Of who the people want
Instead of a candidates taunt
Can I please go
ReplyDeleteTo the concert today?
I swear that I will pay
I can get a ride
I promise i will abide
By your rules
The music is not cruel
The music is nice,
Unlike rats and mice
We will be safe from harm
No one will set off an alarm
My friends and I will stay together
No matter the weather
Mom and dad,
If you let me go, I won’t act bad
You guys are the best!
I am just so blessed!
Everything will be alright,
If you let me go to the concert tonight.
Conviction
ReplyDeleteMy persuasion is to make you speak with conviction.
A part of you, a symbol, and addiction.
To speak your mind, no likes or you know?’s
Conviction should be something to openly show.
It seems that the newer generation has lost interest.
As caring less about things we should treasure more is the best.
People find it strange to be excited about a subject.
Having a love of knowledge is not proper in public.
Every teenager loves to be apathetic.
But in all reality it’s really pathetic.
So speak with conviction, and mean what you say.
Or the meaning of words will just go away.
I've got puppy dog eyes and the plea of a child.
ReplyDeleteI can put on my temper, throw a fit and run wild.
But we all know much better than that.
To throw tantrums and turn up the mat.
Buy me a car because you love me, father.
I've earned it, worked hard, made the bother.
The choice is yours, Dad, if I get it or not.
If you don't I'll still know that you haven't forgot.
That I'll never be good enough, precious enough to you,
In your eyes I'm just another animal at the zoo.
I give you my trust, my heart, my all.
You can smash it, crush it, give it a brawl.
Or you can buy me a car, Father, show me you love me.
That I matter to you, that I'm better than money.
So get me that car Daddy, please, the cool red one.
Because I matter to you, I'm your perfect special son.
Times have changed since the sixties
ReplyDeleteBelieve it, it's true
we no longer have payphones
eight tracks
or the smurfs who are blue.
Now we have Apple inc.
which has solved the world's mess
because of Steve Jobs
we no longer must stress.
Did I mention, by chance
that you have failed to get me
a mac of my own
and i feel you have forgetten me.
Just hold your horses,
I know forgetten ain't right
but if I'd had my own laptop
I could have gone to some site
Where they teach you to rhyme
with the utmost of class
so you don't have to say forgetten
and look like a... donkey.
Along with the fact
that laptops make you smarter
they also help you
find foods good with tartar
sauce.
You know I love cooking
The mixing and shaking
all of the while
your dinner I'm making
In case, just in case
you had not yet caught
I get all of my recipes
from one spot.
All recipes.com
is that special place
where I get the instructions
for the cuisine which I make.
So now you see clearly
throughout this great poem
I need a computer
and then I can show 'em
the ways which I rhyme
with dignity and grit
and find recipes to cook
so I don't look like... you know.
The wag of a tail;
ReplyDeleteHow could it fail?
The lick of a tongue;
What could go wrong?
A friendly bark,
While walking in the park.
Think of the fun,
When you go on a run.
This dog you see,
Isn’t just for you and me.
Sasha’s alone,
With nothing but a bone.
She needs a friend;
Her loneliness will end.
This puppy you see,
Will be so easy.
We’ve done it before;
It wasn’t a chore.
Think of love,
When you give it a hug.
So now do you see,
Why we need a puppy.
Marry Me?: A Sonnet
ReplyDeleteAlexandra Larsen
Please oh please will you please say yes to me?
a proposal will you please take this ring?
at the wedding there will be sweet fondue
and I will promise not to dance the swing
Please oh please will you take my last name??
They way your brown hair falls over your face
I love how its curly and never tame
When I look at you my heart starts to race
As you sit there and sip your coffee
All I need is the courage to say hi
Is it impossible that you’ve noticed me?
Or am I a wallflower just too shy?
I walk up hoping this is in my fate
and I say “can I take you on a date?”
This poem is inspired by my grandparents marriage that was shortened by the death of my grandfather last year.
ReplyDeletePlease Don’t Forget About Me
Roses are red,
violet’s are blue,
how could I ever forget you.
My love is everlasting,
and will only belong to you.
When we first met we were just friends,
belonging to other members of our crew.
Then you were sent away for the service,
and when you returned our love grew.
After Fifty-one years of marriage, four children,
and six grandchildren that share your eyes of blue;
I’m proud to say,
my heart belongs to you.
Now your picture hangs on the mantel as a reminder,
that when my heart yearns for your presence, not be so blue.
We had so many memories together.
Love, laughter, and sadness too,
so as you can see, I could never forget you.
Stay
ReplyDeletePlease don't leave me
After all we've been through
I know you truly need me
And all I need is you
She can't love you like I can
Don't you understand
She can't warm heart or hand
She cannot be your woman
I'm down on my knees
Don't leave me baby please
We can work this out
We've done it before
Please don't shout
Please don't slam that door
I need you here now
I need you forevermore
Don't leave me baby please
Or I'll be crushed to the floor
As my heart aches and my tears stream
As I wear my heart on my sleeve
Turn around don't leave
Honey I'm all that you need
The Necessity
ReplyDeleteRobbing this bank was no such felony,
In fact, it was nearly a favor.
Not one place should have that money,
Not even a wealthy neighbor.
Who else deserves it,
Besides a man who lived a poor life,
Living on the streets was not a luxury,
It was only filled with strife.
Come to me, oh trusty lad,
Give what is to be mine,
That money belongs in my hands,
With zeros to the nines.
You don’t want to see me angry,
No, its quite a sight,
I will get the money without a thought,
You might even get a fright.
Please, Oh Please,
I’m begging at the moment,
I promise to never rob again,
Just please hand over my fulfillment.

ReplyDeleteSome people are in it for the money
ReplyDeleteSome for the high
Some for the love
To believe the real life is a lie
A sweet escape
But not to last
For not just one person understands
How life flies by so fast
In later years
As your body begins to break
You ask yourself
How you loved a life so fake
Your family left you long ago
Sitting at the edge of Hell
You realize your only hope
Is Death’s final, calling bell
As the curtain closes on your life
And you cry out in despair
You think how young and stupid you were
To let drugs entrap you in their snar
I know you don’t care
ReplyDeletebut that’s okay
It’s not like I need you
anyway
I’m scared and alone
and I could use your time
But you say you’re busy
so that’s fine
If only you’d spend a moment
with me
The rest, they say,
would be history
I’d be happy to know
that you cared
Tell you all the
hardships I’ve fared
I’m scared and alone
and I could use your time
But you say you’re busy...
So that’s fine.
Spring Break:
ReplyDeleteOh mother, oh father
I won’t be a bother
Please let me go
I’m tired of snow
And the ocean is calling
Soon I’ll be lolling
But only if you allow
To remain pleasant I vow
With your permission
I’ll gain admission
To a far off place
With a full suitcase
Feeling the sea breeze
Spring break please
Grant me the access to go
Far away to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Please stop what you are doing and look,
ReplyDeletePlaying music from the iPod I wish I took,
The noise flowing out is simply awful,
Country music should be unlawful,
The lyrics may seem passionate,
But they were just written for the cash in it,
Whatever Cowboy Sean says about cruising,
Is only forming an exit for the brain cells your losing,
Every time he says summer, truck, or baby,
Rethink what you’re doing and just maybe,
Save everyone around you from the torture you’re causing,
Look at the album cover of boots and consider pausing,
Put on something less about the South,
And experience pure joy by word of mouth,
I’ll accept anything but what you have on,
Please just make that noise disappear and gone.
We're having so much fun
ReplyDeleteso please don't say you have to run
we can go on a walk
or even run around the block
But don't go
I'll be all alone
You wouldn't want to leave
if you knew I'd grieve
so stay and we'll have the best time
and you won't go when the clock chimes
Let's go somewhere
ReplyDeleteFor once, this summer.
Last year we stayed home,
It was fun at first,
But three months is long,
Let's go somewhere tropical,
Exotic and swine.
Friends are fun,
And so is the local pool.
But nothing can beat
Breathing in new air.
There's no reason why not,
Let's make some memories,
Spend some family time.
I'm now on my knees,
Take me somewhere!
Out of all the things a girl could want,
ReplyDeletethere is only one thing that looks at me with a taunt.
With the infinite amount of games and apps,
this certainly isn’t a money trap.
And the fact that I will never get lost,
will surely offset the heftiness of the cost.
I would never be more than a phone call away,
and there is no distance too far I could stray.
I know every time I bring this up you suppress a groan,
but so many great things could come from my new iPhone.
I have begged and I have pleaded,
and, until now, I have not succeeded.
By now you have surely seen the logical side,
so let’s buckle up and go for a ride.
It is not that far to the cellular store,
it will go so quick you won’t have time to bore.
It will be the greatest thing that I have to own,
clearly, only positive outcomes can come from an iPhone.
Lets go get food
ReplyDeleteI’m in that kind of mood
You can choose
There is no way to lose
It is simply some fare
Isn't that fair?
It doesn’t have to breakfast or brunch
It can be dinner a snack or lunch
There is no need to pull a Glock
You are not on the clock
When you are ready I will take you to eat
You can just take a seat
Will you please come dine?
All you have to do is say a time
Weather its caviar or pizza
Don’t be a diva
I know you would like to grab a bite
Just say the word and we just might
All I want to do is eat with you
And I hope you feel that way too.
Mom please let me go
ReplyDeleteI don’t care if it’s gonna snow
I don’t care if it’s gonna be cold
I don’t want to be controlled
I will dress nice and warm
I’ll get there before the storm
I promise I will be good
You have this all misunderstood
I’m just going to play some ball
As soon as I get there I’ll give you a call
I’ll be back by ten
I promise I’ll never ask you something like this ever again
Okay I will drive you over
Hop in the Range Rover
Never mind I’m tired
I guess it just transpired
Oh please Mother, dear
ReplyDeleteLet us go out on the frontier
Today is such a beautiful day
Please let us get out our sleigh
Children playing with faces aglow
Spending their day out in the snow
The sky is so bright and blue
We have just recovered from stomach flu
We promise we won’t break our heads
If you let us crawl out from our beds
Please Mother, dear, time is ticking away
Don’t let it be a dreary day
Don’t keep us in with lock and key
Listen to our desperate plea
Outside there’s an icy war
Children, big and small, trying to score
What wouldn't we do, just to participate
Let us out before they dissipate
Let us out, Mother, please
Before temperatures rise in degrees
Before the snow has completely cleared
And smiling snowmen have disappeared
Time
ReplyDeleteDear world, give us more time
To ask for this is not a crime
We know how short life can be
To do things other than disagree
We need more time to run and play
Not to watch our loved ones decay
I want time to have a break
To rest by a beautiful lake
To sit back and read a book
Perhaps near a sparkling brook
Time can be wasted so quickly
So much that it makes me sickly
We spend all our time to work
So on this earth we do not lurk
For this wish, I will pray
So please do not delay
More time will make me happy
Otherwise I may be snappy
It’s just a small little plea
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh, why can’t you see
I would be chased a thousand miles
Just to see it bring smiles
My favorite teddy bear I would sell
Just to take captive some of its smell
I would sort through fertilizer that’s in a mound
Just to hear its sweet, crackling sound
I would swallow a bucket of sand
Just to hold it in my hand
I would eat a container of toothpaste
Just for just one, little, tiny taste
I would shave a flea infested bear
Just to see it sitting there
So, I guess I’m begging to you, please
May I have one of the chocolate chip cookies?
You say that I am just a friend
ReplyDeleteAnd that you hope our friendship will never end
But every day we have a fight
And every time I say it’s all right
The only thing that I ask
Is really quite a simple task
Just take the blame
Then do me a favor and forget my name
My anger for you grows ever greater
As I must be my own vindicator
So please just leave me be
Then I can finally be free
By the time I say I’m Leaving
You finally understand why I was grieving
You said that I was just a friend
And now I know that it can end
To Mr. Mellark, Will You Take My Love?
ReplyDeleteA poem from Katniss’s point of view
Peeta, my love
You have fallen from above
Your abs are so smokin’
So take my love as a token
You are so strong
And you are never wrong
Oh, you are such a romantic
Seeing your smile makes me a lunatic
I can be your Katniss
Once you give me a kiss
That night on the rooftop
Your eyes really popped
It was a starry night
And you were my light
You threw bread at me in the rain
And you saved me from my pain
I kissed you in the cave
So you could be saved
I took your bread, you stole my heart
We were soul mates from the start
Even when you looked like a tree
I knew you were the one for me
I know you think I love Gale
But my love for you will never fail
There is a reason
That I need you, for every season
Don’t you know that cupid has a bow?
So do I, but I will never let you go
Please, Peeta, don’t forget
The Hunger Games in which we met
Do you remember how you felt when you looked at me?
Don’t you remember the poisonous berry?
I would die for you
Although you wouldn't want me to
Without you I am incomplete
Can you still feel the fire’s heat?
You are the one I truly admire
Will you marry your “Girl on Fire?”

ReplyDeleteI deserve it
ReplyDeleteWhat have I done wrong
All my work is done
And now I want to have fun
Just let me leave
I’m not a child anymore
Your constant supervision
Is really such a chore
Show that you love me
Let me go out on my own
I don’t feel like I’m pushing the bar
Maybe if i was 10 this would be going too far
Now that you see my reasoning
would you please let me go
And don’t forget
I also need some money for the show
The economy is in a depression
ReplyDeleteThe country is in a recession
We need to stimulate demand
To save the economy we need a plan
A massive building project with which
To drag ourselves out of the ditch
And stimulate economic growth
For corporations and individuals both
The proponents of this theory are
Eager to start the construction of a Death Star
Join the movement, support the petition
To invest $852 quadrillion dollars is the mission
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57563640/white-house-rejects-building-a-death-star/
Please, won't you let me?
ReplyDeleteIt's not confusing or tricky, this is my plea
I want it so bad, as do you
Don't deny it, you know it's true
I don't get it often, it's rare we go there
Please don't stop me, that's just not fair
You say it's not healthy
We can still afford it even though we aren't wealthy
You say we don't have time.
We can make it quickly, it's not a climb
I ask, I beg, yet you still say no
You say its just meant not to be so
Ok, now you're just being mean.
Can't we go to Dairy Queen?
Father Time
ReplyDeleteWould you grant me the wish
To go back in time
When my family was all together
I miss the late nights watching CSI
With my dad right by my side
I miss the endless days playing
But now my brother has left for college
If only you grant me this wish
It would really make my day
I would do anything to go back
I would give up half my life
So please take this into consideration
Take me back to the old days
Take me back to the simpler days
When I didn't have to worry about anything
Take me back to before October
Take me back when I still had my family
Would you care to give a second thought?
ReplyDeleteTo the pain this decision has brought?
Your choice to move is not your own
Leaving Illinois does not affect you alone
This house right here is my home
The only one I've ever known
Aren't family and friends
More important than beginnings and ends?
And the school, where I had everything planned?
One life, never given a chance to expand
Already the feelings start to slip
My past and present doing flips
Take my hand, pull me back
Oh how much I've lost track
Would you go back and give a second thought?
Before my world is all but wrought?
Choose the future that should have been mine
The one I've longed for all this time
"Harvey's Poem"
ReplyDeleteYou're always walking down the hall
Hiding quietly beside the wall
You're not invisible to me
And I wish I could make you see
You think you have no talent, but I know that's not true
You think that the crowd is looking at everybody but you
You're telling yourself that you don't care
That nobody seems to know you're there
You don't know I've been waiting
For the right moment, anticipating
You're there in the library, all alone
I walk up, you're chilled to the bone
But you have to know I want you so badly
And if you so wanted, I'd take you out, gladly
But I stand there stiffly, no words in my mouth
I can see the conversation headed south
So that's why I'm here, writing this poem
I'm shy just as you, but this otta show 'em
It's hard to use words, but still I desire
To go out with you, the one I admire
I've seen you so much, but it took long to see
Just how much you honestly mean to me
And I know that you could say no, filling me with sorrow
But I hardly care now; how 'bout lunch tommorrow?
Tonight Tonight
ReplyDeleteWhy won’t they let me go out tonight?
Do my parents think I’ll go get in a fight?
I just want to live while I’m young and I’m free.
Come on Mom, dad, just let me be me.
Everyone gives us teens a bad rep
Why do they think that we’re so out of step?
Yeah sometimes we may stay out real late
Sometimes we go out to just mingle- not mate!
Have you never even heard of having a good time?
So what if that means you’re committing a crime?
Just because I want to go hang out with friends,
does not mean I will bring my future to an end.
If you hold me on a leash next to you
How will I know what to do
when I make a mistake and fall on my face.
I need to rely on me, not you and your mace.
So Mom and dad don’t you see?
I’m only asking to leave me be.
You don’t have to let me go just quite yet.
But let me have fun without giving a fret.
I love you so much- I’ll be out with girlfriends
Don’t worry your hearts won’t even need a mend.
I promise I’ll look both ways when turning to the right!
I promise I’ll be safe when I go out tonight.
"Veronica"
ReplyDeletePlease, please, my dear, come back
My days without you seem to lack
I miss your sweet beautiful smile
The kind that lit up your face and stretched on for a mile
I wish to see the sun on your golden locks
Upon your bedroom door I still knock
I long to see you dance and play
The simple things that made you gay
I've heard the gates are pearly white
I am selfish here and I need your light
I’m sure you love the place you now reside
But we need you here, I must confide
Remember those times we would play
Please come home if only for a day
Descend those stairs you once climbed
Forget those bells that we once chimed
When you left here the skies turned black
And I do not think they will ever go back
So you have made the final journey
But I’m still haunted by that tiny filled gurney
I’m sorry for asking, please, don’t think me weak
Without you our family seems so very meek
I yearn to see your cute little hands
There is no one like you in all of the lands
Please baby girl, please come home
We searched everywhere we could possibly roam
Spend a moment down here from heaven
I yearn to witness the day you turn seven
To a cousin so precious and so very sweet
The sound of your giggle is such a treat
Each day we wish to grow stronger
Do you think this time apart will last any longer?
Here on this earth you used to thrive
How is it fair that I am alive?
The day that you left the world went still
Without you, my dear, this world has no thrill
Here lies the great deceit
Promises of safety that were left obsolete
Please, please return
The earth continues to cry and refuses to turn
You were stolen by violence
And my answer is found within the silence
Your coming arrival is uncertain
For you have crossed through the final curtain
I know you are not coming back
Thus our hearts have continued to crack
But please, please, my dear, come back
My days without you seem to lack
"Stay"
ReplyDeleteIt’s getting late, the sun has faded
Wade out of the water, dry ourselves off, now my heart is about to be invaded
A feeling of ecstasy, engulfed in your embrace
With you in my eyes, we melt into space
I’m grasping your hand and I refuse to let go
Hold me tight, don’t leave me alone
It feels so precious, your palms grazing my hips
Pulling me in close, greeting my lips
Blood swimming in my wrists, you kiss my disgusting pain
“Never again, angel”.... at long last, thank you...you’ve released me from this chain
The time has come, collapsing in your arms
I know you want to stay, you don’t want to cause more harm
Oh, sweetheart, where are you going?
My hands resting against your chest...your heart is slowing
Just in case you didn’t know, I really do love you so
I’ll say it once more: baby, please don’t go
Not again...no...not again. Please let this be the last time
This promise is for you: no more goodbyes
Why are you not weeping? I don’t understand
I can tell that you’re breaking, from the way you squeeze my hand
My heart sinks as your hand slips from mine
Baby, please, kiss me one more time
"As you wish, love" and you fulfill my need
But something is different, reality has hit, and you're about to leave
I need you...I need you...why can’t you see?
Stay with me a moment longer, I’m begging you, don’t leave.
Rock me back and forth, darling
Ease the pain of this awful parting
They are starting to downpour, the little black beads
Falling on your shoulder, my chest starting to heave
Goodbyes don’t exist, you’ve said it before
“I’ll be home soon, angel...we’ll be together once more”
I Need Sleep
ReplyDeleteI need sleep
I nearly cry when my alarm does beep
I barely manage to stay awake
Because of that my eyes do ache
I wake up in the early morning
My alarm clock rings with no forewarning
Because my homework can not wait
I go to bed very, very late
If only school would start at ten
then I would happily shout Amen!
Maybe then I could pay attention
and work on my comprehension
If I could sleep longer each day
maybe then I would see flowers instead of grey
Hakuna Matata, thats the saying, right?
ReplyDeleteI wasn’t in trouble when I went out last night
If only you let me go out once more
This will be the only thing I ever ask for!
I am responsible, if only you could see
I can handle myself, trust me!
I won’t be long, I will be home soon
Its not like I’m going all the way to Cancun
You only live once, like everyone said
In a couple of hours, I’ll be back in my bed
I just want to go out, and have a little fun
Don’t you think I should while I’m young?
I’ll be sure to act like an adult, I promise!
One night out is fine, its harmless!
I will clean my room and do my chores
If you please let me go out once more
Long black silky hair running down her back
ReplyDeleteWith her sparkling pools blue eyes attacking
Her silky short magenta dress
She has always used this technique for success
She spies looking for information vital for her nations security
She has loved and lost with no emotion
When will she come and talk to me
We know she is a spy and I have information
She comes over using all the techniques
Seduction what an odd art form
Men or women seduced for meaningless purposes
All itching to get out but can't
The only release
Death sweet death
Poison
In the back of her mouth
Gone without a trace
No seduction anymore
Please just try to understand
ReplyDeleteIt would be really grand
To drive around town
without a frown
I'll fit nice and snug
In my beautiful bug
How about yellow?
It can be nice and mellow
If you buy me that car
I'll give you a chocolate bar!

ReplyDeletePersuasive Poem
Please Mom and Dad just let me go
Before we all get stuck in the snow
It won’t be long until I return
When I’m gone I will learn
Having fun will also be prevalent
Spending however will also be relevant
When I’m away you can enjoy
No one there to annoy
Please just give me a chance
If you do I might just dance
It is the city of lights
And I promise not to get in fights
A trip would be a nice break
But it’s a chance you must take
The money may be an issue
If it is here is a tissue
I promise I will be good
I will not hang out in the hood
It’s the change of a lifetime
If I can go I’ll call you at bedtime
Just go with the flow
Please Mom and Dad let me go
So I just gotta ask ya,
ReplyDeleteCan I go to Nebraska?
It'd be a pretty neat thing,
Better than a bee sting!
There's this hole in the ground,
It's really there to astound.
Anyway,
It'd be great to fly away,
Let me visit the dirt farms,
And fight to bare arms,
Nebraska is a cool place,
Wait! Gotta tie my shoe lace.
I want something good,
ReplyDeleteSomething not made of wood,
It is something worth while,
I know it has an appealing style,
My friends love it,
It's more fun than a baseball mitt,
I know I'll have a blast,
It'll certainly last,
What I've said is true,
So I ask you,
Can I get a new dog?
He can make a blog!
The moonlight beat down upon us
ReplyDeleteI tried to convince her to stay a while longer,
She had to go
I needed her to stay
I begged and I pleaded
I told her it’d be fun
To give it a while longer
And stay up for the sun
To sit, and to talk
And to play board games
We could even discuss,
How we are the same
What are our favorite movies
Our other likes, and our dreams
If you come with me,
It will be just as it seems
So just stay till morning,
It won't be odd at all
If you stay with me
We could have a ball
But alas you must go,
To your house far away
Although i understand
I wish you could stay
So goodnight my dear lady
I'll try to keep in touch
I will miss you
Oh so very much
ReplyDeleteOh, how I implore
I shan’t later ask for more
No, this is all I desire
and I shall beg until I tire
For the big screen is calling for me
Can’t you hear it, don’t you see?
Popcorn, candy, and sodas are shouting
Denying my plea will result in my pouting
I’ll ask again, since I wish for it so strongly
I hope my repetition doesn’t annoy you so wrongly
Allow my absence here, let me go to the movie theater
I don’t need much money, as I’m not a big eater
But still supply dollars for me, please
(Not having to deplete my own funds will put me at ease)
So please, I continue to plead
Help me in my time of need
Purchase my ticket to the movie, my friend
Unless you wish my heart to rend
After School King Soopers
ReplyDeleteCome with me
I can take you places
We’ll have adventure,
see many new faces
Excitement around every corner,
we’ll rule it, we’ll own it
You’ll be with me:
never a dull moment
So please please,
come to King Soopers with me?
We have to write a lot of poetry
ReplyDeletePlease, don’t make me
When will I need to be able to write a poem?
Well the answer to this question remains unknown
What if I am an astronaut?
Writing poetry in not needed a lot
Even if I was a bus driver
I wouldn’t be able to bust out a poem like MacGyver
And what about a dentist
If they had to write a poem I’m sure they’d resist
And even a pilot
Wouldn’t have to write a poem about a rose and a violet
And what about a cowboy
Writing poetry would not be something they would enjoy
I guess only if you were a language arts teacher
Writing poetry would be a helpful feature
So overall why waste my time?
Writing poetry and making some rhymes
Please get out of bed
ReplyDeleteCome with me
So much awaits us
Listen to my plea
The dark is a mysterious mist
Awaiting our presence
Our courage will be put to the test
I feel a strange essence
Please I’m begging now
I don’t wanna go alone
This is a life or death situation
I’m hearing a drone
If you let me leave the room
You’re sending me to my doom
I will not come back in one piece
If you do not come with me
I will even give you a dollar
If you agree
I’m thirsty
But there’s a monster downstairs
I need you to go first to turn on the light
Afterall, you are older, and it’s only fair
Dearest Mother of Mine:
ReplyDeletePlease, oblige a son to weather this blizzard.
A girl as fragile as I could not make it home alive.
Look outside the window,
You couldn’t hardly see a sign across the road.
I know we need butter for the cookies,
But I need you to hear my pleas.
I don’t think I am the person best fit,
for this arduous task you have bestowed to me.
The grocery store is much too far,
The cold will inundate me to my bones.
If I even returned,
I would bluer than the sky.
If another were to go,
They would be much better off than I.
So mother, please consider choosing another to go.
Keep me safe and warm since I know you love me so.
I’m awkward and weird and silly
ReplyDeleteand can’t really hold a conversation about anything but band
but I like you
and I do try to talk about sports
but it doesn’t really work
because I know that you're the kind of guy
that only likes those “popular, pretty” girls
but maybe if you gave me just a second look
maybe, possibly, you’ll see that, just sometimes
band nerds are worth your time too
you’re cute and you know it
and I’m shy and avoid eye contact
you’re popular and funny and sporty
and I have an obnoxious laugh
just give me a chance
I won’t waste it, I promise
because I know I won’t get many chances with a guy like you
just this once.
My homework is always done
ReplyDeletebut now you envision me as a bum
I endeavored to complete the assignment with haste
but it appears it was all a waste
I left it on a palisade desk
I never conceived that its strength could be so grotesque
My monstrous dog is all to blame
his devilish teeth...what a shame
Cut up into a jigsaw puzzle is all I can say
Oh my dog knows how to betray
My paper never stood a remote chance
his jaws took chunks without me seizing a glance
My paper crippled and destroyed
my brutal dog was overjoyed
Clips of paper gripping onto his spit
His face contorted into a smile I must admit
The carnage slowly dripped from his lips
Question number 2 whipped past my face as I flipped
I shrieked the loudest I've ever done
This could never be undone
I stand before you a humbled man
take pity on me as much as you can
Your mercy I must beg
your forgiveness I’d take for a leg
Please be sympathetic and give me an A
For those who struggle, those who fear
ReplyDeleteNever knowing when it will be the last tear
Fighting for a reason, fighting for a breath
The solution should never be death
A permanent solution to a temporary problem
Unable to feel anything but pain
A constant battle between your heart and your brain
I know you can make it
Even if it seems like an endless pit
For life is a roller coaster with ups and downs
You just have to keep picking yourself off the ground
Fall down seven times, get up eight
Never give up because of something you hate
Follow what you love and you will see
That those ups will lead you so that you are finally free.
Please oh please, the gloomy clear skies,
ReplyDeleteMy only wish within you lies,
That the dark gray clouds of frosty snow,
May let me not to school tomorrow.
Sadly the last snow day we had,
Was based off a forecast just plainly bad,
And then the next large blizzard of sorts,
Was underplayed by the weatherman’s reports.
Maybe if I can just be lucky for once,
We may get another snow day in the next month,
Though considering that we are nigh unto May,
Our chances of snow get slimmer each day.
So please, oh please, blue cloudless skies,
Let your brightness have it’s demise,
And create a snow day that is much desired,
For me to finish more homework required.
