This is the first really good poem I ever wrote (in 3rd grade), preceded only by one decent poem for a 2nd grader. But this one won a bunch of contests and stuff. It was really the experience of writing this poem that got me into poetry.
A Wondrous Place
By Adrienne Clark
November 1999
A wave of excitement floods o’er me,
For I know the place that I’m bound,
‘Cause humans dream forth of it everywhere,
In nations on Earth all around.
This place I am going is wondrous,
It meddles with hardworking minds,
Unharmful it is to all people,
It plays with the words it entwines.
But not every heart longs to be here,
Yet to everyone it has been told.
This place I shall go is a poem,
In my very own heart and soul.
