My Inside Self and My Outside Self
by Meagan GreenMy inside self and my outside self
Are as different as can be
My outside self is kind of chubby,
My feet smell like old salami,
Ugly freckles lay upon me.
My inside self is different as you can see
A lovely artist
Painting pictures in my mind
While others are gazing wistfully
At my beautiful art so fine.

| Posted by Genevieve Sturrock on 04/06/07 at 09:11 PM um, third grade...sorry, i didn't do anything significant in third grade. my parent's got divorced that year. i wrote my first piece of prose in high school. so you are way ahead of the game, my dear. |

how cute for a 3rd grader to write such graphic detail.
and to do this without being traumatized first is amazing:) |
| Posted by Richard Vince on 04/11/07 at 06:06 PM lovely, though i have to take issue with part of it as i love freckles. i'm not sure how to word it, but there's something about this that i really like. something to do with the mixture of reality and dreams and acceptance of their coexistence. i started writing proper poetry in mid 1996 - if only it had been as good as this. |
