Author's Note: I am currently sick with a little cold, and it's getting a little annoying. But I decided to make the best of it and write a poem about it.. or him I guess. Hope you enjoy!
A monster lives inside me
Cold, dark, and mean
A monster lives inside me,
And it’s killing me you see
It’s powers make me weak
And it’s laugh makes me frail
All throughout the day I hear,
“Honey, you look pale”
A monster lives inside me,
And it makes me cough and moan
A monster lives inside me,
And I’m pretty sure it’s grown!
Mommy tells me to take a nap
And that I need more vitamin c
I blow my nose for the millionth time
I’ll try sleeping, and we’ll see!
A monster lives inside me
All day long I try to kill it
A monster lives inside me
When I cough it throws a fit
Mommy gives me medicine
And I curl up with a blanket
Mommy comes to tuck me in
And gives my head a pet
A monster lived inside me
But when I woke up he was gone
A monster lived inside me
He didn't stay that long
Today I had to go to school,
But none of my friends were there
The monster stayed with them today
That is so unfair.
I really liked how you made the poem rhyme. I also liked the last 2 lines how you switched it around a little.
ReplyDeleteI loved this piece! I really liked how you kept repeating "A monster lives inside of me." I also liked how you compared the monster to being sick. Another thing I liked was how you wrote the last two lines. They are probably my favorite part of this piece. The only thing I might change is, I would start the fourth line in the last part with "But" so then it matches the one that says "But when I woke up he was gone." You don't have to do that, but it's just a suggestion.
