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.

Didn’t your mother ever tell you that it’s impolite to stare? The sheer arrogance that you dare Shove off and go back over there My bloody itchy hair Why do I ever bother? My wits are starting to become frazzled Blasted child is still gawking at me She looks somewhat bedazzled I am the only one here alone And so I could perhaps not condone The way this little girl stares The old man besides me has a bag of pears Please child go away I cannot deal with this today Slowly freaking out Please hurry up and let me out I no longer wish to be out and about I should’ve stayed home There I’d be alone I wonder what she sees when she stares Perhaps I shouldn’t care
