Before she got an “F” <br />On an English Paper <br />At college <br />She would write lots of poetry <br />Without worrying <br />About what anyone <br />Thought <br />And she enjoyed it immensely. <br /> <br />After she got the “F” <br />She couldn’t write anything <br />Without worrying <br />What everyone <br />Would think of her writing <br />And she wondered where <br />The “enjoyment” <br />Of self-expression went <br />How could an “F” have such power <br />To destroy her creativity <br />And why was she allowing <br />One “F” <br />To take all the joy of writing poetry <br />Away from her <br />And she wondered <br />Would her last poem <br />Be her last?<br /><br />Connie Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-last-poem-2/
