Poems

Finn's journey

in the beginning  i was alone

not wanting to be taught

i wanted adventure

so i would let that come true one day

old man pap shows up and punishes me

he demands me of my money

and knowing i could do nothing i gave it

pap had custody of me anyway

the old man took me back to his shack

and here life ain't good

he beats me and chases me around

i manage to escape down the river leaving them thinking me dead

my newest companion Jim and i join up

i had to save Jim and freed him

we ran into my pal Tom who pretended to be named Sid

together we free Jim and now know pap is gone

though we were free Tom was hurt

i who went to get a doctor got caught by aunt Sally

though uncle Silas looks for Tom he can't find him

Jim was in chains ready to be hung

when Tom wakes and sees how bad Jim is treated

he got him freed

Tom told me that aunt Sally was willing to adopt me

in the end i was no longer alone

I had friends

 i had family

this isn't just any story

this is my story

this is the story of Huckleberry Finn

This is set as if i was Finn writing it. Originally an English project for class
