I need help writing poem about my hobby and honesty?

You’ve a lot of poems to write haven’t you…

Is this homework? How about you at least start off the poem and maybe we can help you rhyme?

Its sorta like homework more like an extra assignment its not necessay but it will help me. but thats all i need is a start because thats the hardest part for me.

Yes i have a lot of poems its all one assignment.

What grade are you in? (i am just curious to know what grade english they give such assignments)
mm let’s see…I am not much of a poet myself, but if all you need is something that can pass as an attempt, then anything will work.

What is your hobby? (that you have to write about)

I am a softmore so 10th and my hobby is hmm… i have a lot so lets say shopping.

Justice and equality
Love and loyalty
blah and blah
blah blah and blah blah
All originate from honesty.

(the blah’s are where you fill in your own words of course)

Like I said, I am not much of a poet, but believe me, 10th grade english teacher is not going to care any more than that.

You could get all crazy and write a poem about how your hobby is licking your cat. And for honesty you could write something about how your hobby poem was total bullshit.

Really, teachers read the same shit over and over. It is a poem, you can lie and make stuff up.

Spelling sophomore would be a good start. Often you can write a poem inside out. Start in the middle and add first and last lines.

Teachers often find a budding writer or poet so don’t be so cynical, jp.

My best marks in high school English classes came from absurdity. How many poems do you think this teacher has read about flowers and boyfriends? And in college it was just another lame paper about the death penalty or legalizing drugs.

Get creative. Give the teacher something new and you will be alright. And it will be easier to write. It is after all creative writing.

For your poem about shopping, you could lead into the poem making it sound like your hobby is hunting. Phrases like “I moved towards it stealthily” and/or “But never lost sight of my prey” etc etc. In the end, you can reveal that the “it” was a new shirt or something and that your hobby is actually shopping. That will create a dramatic surprise, be creative (thus fit jp’s idea) and also relieve the teacher of the “same old stuff”. Win-win, non?

@PnL: YOU get the A for the assignment. Well done.

I’d like to keep my balloon aloft more,
but hell, I’m just a softmore

thanks gail! hopefully the asker was able to further expand on the general idea and complete her assignment.

PnL: I hope so, but what happens when you leave the building and she is on her own :_)

Thanx everyone I think i got a good start now.

Oh and thanx PnL!!!!

I moved toward it stealthily
There I spotted it brown and black
I searched around for other enemies
But never lost sight of my prey
Wild and chaos everywhere
It was my last kill before the sun set
There it was so perfect and still
Suddenly I snatched the last shirt from the rack
Perfect size and shape
I love to SHOP!!!!

-how does it sound? i think its good enough because it shouldnt have to take too much thought, its just and assignment

I love it! Great job, I am very proud of you!!!

Thanks PnL for all your help. just out of curiosity you dont hav to answere because you seem knowledgable but how old r u?
