Novice as I am to poetic creativity,

I am very eager to learn from this activity

To overcome some hardships in the creation of poems

And to be indifferent to any comment about my poem.


Hence I begin this maddening task

Of writing words and making them rhyme.

On the bright side, I have a lot of time.

On the down side, I have a mind that rarely finds its prime

So I cannot help but repeatedly ask

was there a better word option left unmasked?


Words popping in and out of my head now

But I don't mind, that's an expense I can allow

For the sake of my grade, I must endure it somehow


And by the end, I find out that in this kind of literature

The virtue of being patient is a key feature

Also, don't stop jotting down your thoughts and feelings

Because you might find words to break your rhythmic ceilings.
