Lessons

A child so innocent.
So young.
So foolish.
So naïve.
I wish to
tell you
the world
isn’t full of
sunshine and
rainbows and
smiles.
That people are not always
what
they
seem.
But how do I
tell you all this in only
once card?
Without
scaring you?
Impossible.
Lessons like this
are learned.
I just hope
you learn them
better
than
me.

  1. Stef!! This poem was great, I like how it told a story, and its from a perspective of someone older. There are different part that rhyme too which is nice. Great job :)

  2. This poem was so cool! I loved the emphasis on words and the progression in the beginning from sweet to darker: innocent to foolish. It was really good. (:
