POEM STARTER

Write a poem about pet peeves.

Little things that annoy you – perhaps they are stand-ins for bigger problems, perhaps they are nothing more.

Pet Peeves

Tiny little offs

That throw me off course

The train curves off the track

But no one holds remorse


Too small for a change

Too large for them to see

I sit here stuck

With my pet-peeve


The tapping of a shoe

The feeling of nails

The taste in my tounge

The sloshing of water pails


They make me shiver

Cold down my spine

If only I wasn’t so bothered

And could finally recline


I want to recoil

Go back into the earth

But above the soil

Is hard rocks over the dirt


I shiver and shake

But push myself along

Such a small mistake

Can make it all turn wrong
