Teachers really ought to learn when enough is enough. Three years ago my English teacher decided it would be a good idea to make us all write poetry. Not just one or two mind you. We had to write a friggin book. (exaggeration, but you know, it was really just too much) No I won't bore you with all of the poems since a majority of them suck. Here are the ones that are halfway decent. Amazingly enough, one of them was published in a Poetry.com anthology. Hehe, somehow they thought it had artistic value. :P If you've read my "Voices of the Soul" Fic then you know I went through a really pathetic Gundam Wing phase. These poems were written about 4 months later as a result of me being incredibly bored with the assignment. A tribute to my 10th grade English teacher, may all your classes be as boring as the one I sat through for a year!
