Is there a future for ME in poetry writing?

This exciting news is just in, I won the Allen County Poetry contest. At school we are doing a unit on poetry so all of the middle school grades had to write a poem on the criteria "Happy, Mad, Sad - Poems about feelings" Here is mine...

Frustrated

I am so Frustrated!

Why won’t that last Lego fit?

I’ve shoved and hammered, but it won’t budge.

I am SO Frustrated!

I can feel the anger

Building up inside of me

Ready to explode like a volcano.

I am so FRUSTRATED!

I am almost ready to cry;

Then I do –

Tears streaming down my face.

Why won’t that last piece fit?

I am OH SO FRUSTRATED!!

I hope you like it! I won first place in the 6th grade division. I think for each grade there is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention so I did pretty well if I do say so myself! There will be an awards ceremony on Saturday December 4th at 11:00 at the Main Library in the auditorium. I am SO excited. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the poem!

  2. Congrats! It sounds like you have had some first hand experience with this feeling of frustration! I think you should branch out and do some more poetry writing.

    Congrats on first place - how exciting (and not frustrating, I bet).
    Keep up the creativity.
    I hope to see you before the snow falls.
    My semester ends Dec 17 - so let's plan some time together starting then . . .
    Love,
