POEM STARTER

Write a poem exploring expectations and reality.

Dreams don’t always come true, but sometimes the alternative is preferable. Whatever angle you take, examine these two perspectives.

U Vs Universe

U verses the U-niverse

One letter against eight

Expectations are a curse

Reality we hate


Dreams don’t always come true

But so does expectations

For us this isn’t something new

But somthing we have faith in


Expected to be good

But in reality it’s hard

Ment to do what we should

But ends up drunk on the front yard


Expected to be popular

But ends up friendless

Hopeless,unpopular

Disappointment is endless


Can’t take this mental strain

It’s much worse than any pain

Disappointed glares I gain

This is far to much for my brain


“Be Rich” “be famous “

Ends up being the lamest

“Good family,good life”

Ends up stabbing you with a knife


But sometimes we need a rest

We tried to be our best

Find a person that will say

“You’re you and thats ok “

THANK YOU! and yes I will try to work on that 🙃😊

This is so good! Such an unique approach to this poem! I always love rhyming poems! Great job! As you are looking for tips on spelling grammar punctuation, there are a few incorrectly spelt words (ment instead of meant). Overall very impressive!!
