I'M Writing Poetry

I remember a couple of years ago That I took a Composition class, I’m ashamed to say my grades, But let’s say I barely passed. I had been writing for awhile, But one thing I didn’t see I wasn’t meant to write essays, I was meant to write poetry. What made it hard, for me, I guess When I took that Composition Class Was remember all the rules, and spellings and all And all the things that Grammar has. When I write here, I am not worried When my Grammar’s wrong, you see. It’s really just me and the way I speak When I’m writing poetry. I had an English teacher that once said, This thing that she told me I can’t go wrong, when it’s just my style When I’m writing poetry. So I guess that I’ll keep doing what I’m doing now, And continue to let myself be. I’ve found what I should be doing, When I’m writing poetry!
