DREAMS IN SCRIBBLES

THE WORST POEM IN THE WORLD

My mom told me to write a poem

I had no idea how that could be done

I set on my desk and tried to think

Didn’t waste my time even to blink

I came up with an idea not very great

Writing poems I very much hate

My poem didn’t even rhyme

To write one sentence I took too much time

My mom told me it had no imagination

I didn’t know what to do in such situation

I thought it was the worst poem in the world

Then some sound I suddenly heard

I was actually a dream very bad

One of the worst I have ever had

I took out my diary and started to write

Out came a poem that was just right!
