- Poem by Eric Chacko, Grade 9

My teacher doesn't speak English well
And reading isn't her forte
I don't like her that much,
Because she gave me a C- minus on my report

My report was great
It could even be considered spectacular
But she gave me a C- minus
Because she doesn't understand the vernacular

Even this poem
She won't be able to comprehend
Because she doesn't speak English
Which is why she'll never be my friend

Great Poem!
Vernacular + Spectacular? Stupendous rhyme!

I admit, I am very jealous. I wish I had written this for Mr. Parella who taught my 10th grade English class. He’ll never be my friend either, because he also gave me a C- a few times. That's ok, I proved him wrong by getting a Bachelors degree in English!

I was published the other day
I was so happy
My friends were like, "No way!"
Because my poem was crappy

I thought it was alright
And the site said it was amazing
My friends say I can't write
But they don't have my skills in word phrasing

So now I write poems everyday
It comes naturally
I constantly use word play
Because I'm so talented, lyrically

My friends are just jealous
They don't understand
I've got writers' workshop in the palm of my hand

I'm so good, I changed the rhyme scheme
In the middle of a poem
It's so extreme
And I can't find a rhyme for "poem"
So I'll just use a half rhyme, like omen

Hi, Eric. I read this poem when it was first on the blog and had to come find it again, because it was just so great.

spectacular=vernacular (love it)

So I don't even know if you'll get to read this comment since it's been so long, but my daughter Abby says she likes it, too.
