This poem was yet another class assignment that just happened to turn out the way i was envisioning it. This morning our class left the classroom and when we returned we each had a cupcake with a lighted candle in it, sitting on our desk. Our teacher asked us what we would normally do with a candle. we went with, "Blow it out." she agreed but asked us what we would do while blowing it out, and we got the correct answer of, "make a wish!" she told us to think of some wishes and to blow out our candle, make these wishes, then, to write them down. our homework: make a poem out of the wishes. i tried and here is my attempt.
The sort of wish i dream about
when i fall asleep,
Are not of those that scream and pout,
or those of who do weep.
But when i lie there peacefully,
i dream about my friends,
and even more about the world,
and the people that live within.
i hope that every one,
will have a day of glee.
And all the friends i have and make,
will keep
their friendship
with me.
i wish,
the warring of this place,
that we must call our home,
would stop before every one
must leave us,
all alone.
These are things i hope for,
when I'm fast asleep.
And when i am asleep
no more
My thoughts i have,
to keep.
