My Assignment

I really like this project 
That my lit teacher gave me.
It's as if you told a sailor
"You must go join the navy."

I wish we did more poem in class,
I think they're pretty cool.
Because there are so many 
Interesting poetic tools.

A hammer will hit the reader hard,
Nails will make sure it sticks,
A drill will pierce them to the heart,
And a latch will make it click.

Poems are quite amazing,
A fact I must admit.
So don't be afraid to start to write,
Just have some fun with it!
