With our poetry contest winding down, I'm still encouraging students and employees to submit poems. Here's my latest attempt to inspire participaton...
Do I Have To?
by Chandra H.
I have to write a poem.
(Chandra said I should.)
I’ll give it my best try,
but it won’t do any good.
My brain is starting to ache
as I stare at this blank paper.
Why is she making me do this?
I’m really starting to hate her!
Maybe if I write one,
Chandra will stop nagging.
And if I win the contest,
I’ll be able to do some bragging.
Guess I should stop whining
and just begin to write.
After all, I am creative
and my mind is very bright.
So I’ll write a poem right now;
I still have a little time.
And when people choose a favorite
Perhaps they’ll all decide on mine.
