Second Draft

 

Second poem in my “Who Am I?“ series:

 

Second Draft

 

If the story of my life was a school homework assignment, it would be handed back to me filled with the teacher’s red marks and comments like these:

 

“Here the story starts to sag. Pick up the action.”

 

“This is where the plot loses credibility. Did this actually happen?”

 

“This whole section should be cut out.”

 

“This character is completely uninteresting. Flesh him out.”

 

“Too much reliance on clichés. “

 

“Sloppy spelling and grammar. Attend to details!!”

 

“All in all, a promising start but it needs a lot of work. There is still time to revise, but hurry. The end of the semester is near.”
