Out Of School

The sun shines down

I look around 

There is no frown

On any one around 

It’s fun and games

When every one’s out

From the great shame

School is finally out!

Writing this iambic dimeter poem was pretty hard because this is my first time ever writing one of these poems and also because it was hard to have the rhythm in the poem and to also have the ABAB rhyme scheme. What I’m hoping to achieve in this poem is to just show the excitement of when school is finally out and summer begins. 

The dream so grand

Yet hard to find

Hard as the sand

Yet seems so blind

It feels so free

Yet it’s so unique 

There by the sea

By the boutique 

This iambic dimeter poem was also pretty hard because I still haven’t really gotten good at this type of poem. I was really stumped by what to write about so I started to write random things that rhymed and I really liked what I ended up writing. I decided to not give this poem a title because it was about life in general and it didn’t need a title.
