Well, I have written some poems... most of them are just plain silly, but as I keep on writing, I plan to make them more... serious. Here's a limerick I wrote once when I was bored.

There once lived a man form Nepal
Who stood with his horse in its stall.
The horse kicked up its back
And made quite an attack
And the man ended up in the hall.

Here is one I wrote for school:

My Sister


My sister is like a monkey

Swinging to and fro

You have to keep your eye on her

Or who knows where she’ll go?


We try to teach her to keep still

We try to calm her down,

But what’s the use? She’s such a goose!

She reminds me of a clown.

This one is just plain weird. I wrote it probably a few years ago, when I was about 8 to 10 years old.

Mary the Mooing Mop-cow
Lived in a city in Moscow.
She had a body like a mop,
And a head like a cow's,
And she never stopped mooing all day.
(Oh wow!)
 
Here's one I am in the process of writing:

Sick

Part One

I’m lying on my bed
A cloth on my head
I struggle to get through this
But it seems to be
Impossible.

I wish I could die
Tears stream down; I cry.
Nothing can help me now
I feel alone.

The minutes tick by
I hug my knees and cry
Some more.
 
Here is part two of "Sick" (I am also coming up with an alternate ending):

Part Two

All I can do now
Is wait.
All I can do now
Is cry and wait.
All I can do now
Is cry and wait and suffer.

Until…
Suddenly…
It stops.
The crying and waiting and suffering stops.
There before me
I see a light.

There is what I have been waiting for.
There is what I have been waiting and dreaming for.
There is what I have been waiting and dreaming and longing for.
There is Jesus.
