"THEME FOR ENGLISH 9B"

Mr. Geib said:
Go home and write a poem tonight. 
Let the words just flow on to the page 
your voice will be all the rage, 
and everyone will see how well it is made.

I lie on my bed and dream
I relax because it's my only time to rest
Every morning I barely can get out of bed
Getting ready for the day 
I walk so slow like a murderer walking to the electric chair
Every day it is harder and harder
I quickly eat my breakfast and then rush out the door
I'm running late as usual
Stress overwhelms me like a blanket
I apologize to Nicole's mom for the wait
Seven o'clock and I'm at school
Finally the day ends and off to the gym I go
I stay for as long as I can and then I rush home
Homework is most important but I procrastinate 
I need to eat my hypoglycemia is acting up
Nick comes over and I slack off even more
He takes me to work 
I think to myself why are these people so rude?
They lecture me because the store I work for 
Doesn't have what they desire
Finally ten o'clock rolls around and I get to go home
I am lighting bolting to my room
Quickly rushing through my homework and in the midst I fall asleep
My day begins again.
