Benutty told me I should post a poem I wrote, so I thought… why not.

I wrote this for a creative writing class at Sacramento City College back in 2000.   I was in the class for 3 weeks.  The assignment was easy:  Write a poem that is 7 lines, each line must have a different number of syllables ranging from 1 to 7 syllables.

I got a C on this assignment. When I questioned the teacher why I got a C, she said it was because it lacked focus.  I told her she was a dumb bitch, and dropped the class.

You believe in angels (6)
God (1)
In myth (2)
But you should know (4)
You’ve heard false (3)
Because there are no angels (7)
There’s only fairies (5)

I’m sorry but that is good stuff.  That teacher needs to be fired.
