The stress was piling up along with the school work we were receiving.
Half the time I wanted to fall down and resort to grieving,
But I had to finish my Rutgers app, boy was that confusing!
Rutgers, Seton Hall, Ramapo and more,
That's just the beginning, when will this list end?
Is there an easy way around it, where is the back door?
Hit the wall of writer's block, how will I ever click send?
My college essay has to be the best piece I've ever written,
But everything distracted me, even Adam's soft fluffy kitten.
Somehow I put together a few lines but it was so rubbery like uncooked mutton.
So I scratched that away till the idea hit me all of a sudden.
I sat back and began to reminisce,
About when I was young, the days of the innocence.
The voyage I took half way around the world.
At the age of only 10 it was a story no one had ever heard.
So I sat down and the adventure flowed out of me.
The story of me and my friends climbing every coconut tree.
This was my best essay, sure to be a victory.
And after I receive my college acceptance, "I would like to thank the academy."
Congratulations on your acceptance at Rutgers! I really like your poem and I found myself laughing most of the time. Also, I liked your addition of 'Adam's soft fluffy kitten!'
ReplyDeleteLove the quote "Adam's fluffy kitten" so cute and Mari said it congratulations! Hope you get accepted in other colleges or university that you have applied to. Love this poem I had fun reading it. The picture was pretty funny :D Everything will come into place for you, just be more careful with your time. College is no joke; so I've heard. You'll do fine.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daisy and Mari, the line "Adam's soft fluffy kitten" was unique. Congratulations on getting accepted in Rutgers! Writer's block can definitely delay work getting done on time and then that gets highly frustrating. I really liked the picture you used!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting in to Rutgers! Your poem was very comical but I still found it very clever and creative. Good job!
ReplyDeleteYour poem was so creative! I truly hope your college essay impressed all of the colleges that you applied to, I'm sure it was great. Hope more acceptances are to come!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to hear that you're accepted to a college before Christmas. Anyway I can easily relate to this poem since I shared the same struggle as you did. However, we both got through it and it must feel good to be done now.
