In My Backyard
This is so hard I’m sitting in my backyard Thinking about words to say Hoping I’m not astray Words want to fly away Nothing to display I can’t say a word in mind That will satisfy this story Running away from glory I'm a rock in its quarry Sadly, no substitut… Can’t say that word Brief Commentary: I had a hard time thinking of what to write. Writing the poem helped me realize how important each letter of the alphabet can be. Without the letter e, my whole vocabulary became much more limited. Putting in a rhyme pattern took me a longer time than normal. - Matthew Jin
