Welcome to Runaway Rhymes 7
Here is another round of this growing poetry contest and I can't wait to read all your poems!
RUNAWAY RHYMES 7 TOPIC: Let's See, Why Me...
source
I'd like you to write a poem that asks the question why me. It can be about anything as long as it addresses the question "Why Me" and it rhymes.
EXAMPLE: HERE'S ONE I DID EARLIER.....
Why Me?
I always find the mud in the grass
Or cut myself on the only pieces of glass.
I lose the best of things
Like keys, money and rings.
Schoolbooks disappear on their day
If my room was tidy that would pay.
I seems that I always ladder my tights
On groovy party or disco nights.
I sometimes rip my coat on the fence
or lose my last vital 50 pence.
I miss the films that I really want to see
But that's because I'm just me.
(another poem dug out of the archives)
