A Dream of Jane's

It doesn’t seem right
you should have some of my height
But when you give me the ball
You make me feel tall

So here I am at the beginning of the story
Hoping it will end in glory
With a dragon and a hero
Saving a princess who felt like a zero

I look forward a few pages
But there are no pictures
Only morals never told by the ages
So I sit and I think
Grabbing my highlighter that’s pink

You have full faith in me
But no one else feels my glee
So I keep on reading
Hoping everything will come stampeding

i like the idea of this, but im not sure about the rhyming.... making rhyming work is a very tricky matter without having it sound awkward. for parts of this it seems as if there is a word that you wouldnt have chosen had it not rhymed, and it's important that the words you choose are the most perfect words for what you're trying to say, not necessarily the most perfect rhymes. be careful with that. i like the title, and i like "only morals never told by the ages," and I also like how you start it off with "it doesn't seem right" -- that's a line that really draws the reader into the poem.

hannah said...
