POEM STARTER
Confession.
Write a poem, with a set structure, which centres around the theme of confession.
Firstly…
Firstly I wanted to tell you this for a long time
The girl hiding notes in you locker is me
My name is McKenzie and I’m 5’9
These aren’t for me to be a bully
I just wanted to talk to someone new
My friends are cool and all but they aren’t you
I didn’t know anything besides your number
Because talking to you would’ve made me weird and like a deer with a hunter
Dude, I really enjoyed our letters back and forth
Your dad sounds like a dick
And sorry for you parrot that died after you were 4
I can come off strong respectfully that’s not a trick
I have one thing left to say in my last letter
On September 18, 1986
I will be gone forever
My parents have one their getting in the mail in the mix
I know I will be missed for years to come but this is my decision
My journals and 3,000 dollars will go to you
I will be shooting myself with such precision
I will be in heaven with my dog I buried
I have put a ticket so you can come and see me be carried
I will miss you so much
But I can’t be around where I feel like everyone’s crutch
Sorry…
To, Westly Keith Hace
From, McKenzie Jewels
