She Wants a Poem
January 2011 (9th Grade)
For Jordan J.

She wants a poem,
but, oh, what's to say?
Should I tell her I like her shoes,
and her yellow jacket shines bright as day?
Would I say her makeup looks pretty,
and she's fun to talk to?
Would it make her smile
to say her haircut is cute?
Does she want me to go on
about how awesome she is,
or the time she met
his parents?

She wants a poem,
but what am I to write?
Do I say the sun shines upon her
as the stars do at night?
Am I to be scolded at 
for not writing about what she wants, so desperately?
Would it be offensive 
to say she's a bit of a Drama Queen?

She wants a poem,
but what is left to write?
This is all I have.
I hope it's alright.
