POEM STARTER
Paper boats, the scent of lemons, and tears.
Use these descriptors as inspiration for a poem.
Why?
Why do some kids get to make paper boats
And smell like lemon pie
While all i get to do is cry
Why do some people get to love
And never to lose
When I have never gained
Why do some people get so much
And nevwr have to be pushed to the side
Meanwhile I am always left behind
Why do some kids have it easy
And everything comes naturally
While all I can do is write
Why do some kids get to be happy
And full of joy
While I sit here, watching with tears
