Poor Judgement
On the way to court
One Monday long ago
I stopped to look
At a woman
I stared too long
Missed the hearing
Was arrested
Sexual harrasment
They tried me for
I do have a problem
In jail now
If only I had gone
I died alone.
This was written by me in Ela class about two weeks ago, we were tasked with writing a new poem using the same rhyme scheme and syllables as the original poem, the original poem was called “On the way to school”.
