Assignment For Ms. Burroughs

The Poet On the cruise ship was an unknown poet, His style so hot, that none could approach it. Not the smartest guy, don’t be quick to judge, Doesn’t read much, writing is what he loves. His lyrics are of experience and truth; Life has been hard since the days of his youth. The poet has a broad structure and voice, Blessed with deftness and the power of choice. Wanting to do things his way is a must; Sometimes this starts controversy- a fuss. His britches baggy get not too saggy. He wears a cruel curse, the looks of daddy. It’s hard to be him self, around wealth, But he loves him self, can be no one else. Tries to live life in the slow, paced lane, But doing wrong calls the strong poet’s name. To him life is a big mystery case, Is it money or love that he should chase? He wonders why life is such a hard task, Is there a price, to receive paradise? The poet is a curious young man, But is it wrong to want to understand? He wants to be useful in his lifetime, So he does his best, to write with finesse. God Bless.
