Today I Wrote This Poem

Today I wrote this poem,

But I'm not sure if it's good.

It doesn't have the things

My teacher says a poem should.

It doesn't share the feelings

I have deep inside of me.

It hasn't any metaphors

And, not one simile.

It's missing any narrative.

Alliteration too.

It isn't an acrostic,

Dismantle, or haiku.

There's nothing that's personified.

It doesn't have a plot.

I'm pretty sure that rhyming

It is the only thing its got.

It sure was fun to write it,

And I think it's long enough.

It's just too bad it's missing

All that great poetic stuff

I put it on my teacher's desk

and, wow, she made a fuss.

She handed back my poem

With an A+++++!
