I don’t like how this line isn’t straight.
I stare at the clock, I can’t be late.
Pictures are falling off the nail,
If one thing isn’t perfect I fail.

I hate that teeny, tiny spot on the wall.
“Ring Ring” I can’t miss this call.
A single paper is out of place.
You can see the horror in my face.

So I make the line straight,
trying not to be late.
I fix the nail,
and I try not to fail.

I fix the wall,
take the call,
put the paper in place,
and put a smile on my face.

I wrote this poem, “Perfectionist” because I can be a perfectionist sometimes. This poem is kind of exaggerating what it is like to be a perfectionist. I wrote this poem so people would know what it’s like to be a perfectionist. The meaning of the poem is that if you are a perfectionist, you might not be happy until everything is perfect.

I used to say that I was starving.
But the truth is,
I was only hungry.
Some people in Africa are dying from starvation.
They would do anything for a big meal.
But we are starving after three meals a day.

I used to hate my clothes.
But the truth is,
they are just fine.
Some people in Africa make their own clothes.
They would do anything for more attire.
But we need new, ostentatious clothes.

I used to hate my house.
But the truth is,
my house is large enough.
Some people in Africa live in small huts.
They would do anything for a nice shelter.
But we need a bigger houses.

I used to be hateful and ungrateful.
People in Africa and other places around the world
live in poverty.
We need to end poverty
and help less fortunate countries.

I wrote this poem because in Africa, and other countries around the world, many children get less than we do. Sometimes we take things for advantage. I hope that after reading my poem, people donate or spread awareness for poverty.

Cold and frozen is how I stay,
Melancholy on this snowy day.
As it  snows cats and dogs during winter,
Cold and frozen is how I stay.

Let the icicles fall on me,
To put me out of my misery.
I hate this season, stupid winter.
Let the icicles fall on me.

One day the sun rose up shining
Told me he could end my whining,
He would make me happy, hot, and free
One day the sun rose up shining

The sun did what it promised to,
I wished that only I had knew
I melted slowly, then all at once.
The sun did what it promised to.

The sun is still my hero though.
Now I don’t have to deal with snow.
I was a snowman, now a puddle.
The sun is still my hero though.

This poem is about a snowman who really hates winter. I think it is kind of ironic. This poem is meant to be entertaining. I wrote this poem because I was thinking about how much I hate winter and what a snowman would think about it.

Sand between my toes.
Smiles as bright as the sun.
The summer breeze blows.

Waves along the shore
Sun bounces right off of us.
Summer is no bore.

I wrote this poem because it was cold this day and I really want to be in summer or on vacation. This poem is entertaining. The poem is in the perspective of someone on a beach.

Problems are being ignored
and we have to stop them now.
The wage gap is something that we can not allow.

I am a woman with children.
Less money is given to me.
Fathers don’t receive these unfair and sexist fees.

White Men get 100, White Women 77.
African Americans get 64, Latinas 55.
The wage gap screams it’s deductions, and I get less money to survive.

They tell me i can’t make as much because of my state.
In Washington DC I get 90 percent, In Wyoming 64.
I just don’t get why they make so much more.

“all men are created equal” say the documents.
Women aren't included, we aren't all the same.
We are too smart to play the governments silly game.

Nurses, teachers, hair dressers, these are woman jobs.
Why can’t we be a manager, or a lawyer too?
Of course not! That is for men to do.

The gap starts at college, and goes down from there.
We can’t be docile. Women are still unequal to men.
Now let’s make this country right again.

This poem is based off of my argumentative writing. I am very passionate about eqal pay and defeating the wage gap. I think that it is unfair and I want to spread awareness about this problem that is happening. Some people think that the wage gap is fake, but it is real and we need to fix it.
