The soccer ball is like a sad puppy, cold and wet
We haven't won a game yet
My mom cheers like a crazed monkey in the stands
Aww man, she is our only fan


I have no social life indeed
If it's one thing, it's friends I need
My shoes "squeak" like a mouse
The only reason i have shoes is because i sold my house

My life is surely just a fail
I always walk down the wrong trail
My life goes all but fast
please dont put me in the past

Cassidy Harris helped write this poem for me
But Mrs. Secreto, its okay 'cause she's as cool as can be
Your like a super, special, smart lady who should give me an "A"
But even if you don't, i fail at most things anyway

  1. I also adore soccer.
    I like the request to get an A.

    I dont like that Cassidy wrote this, write it yourself.
    I dont think you should say you fail about yourself, be confident.

    1. A,A,B,B
    2. Depressing
    3. Crazed- describes the "monkey's" reactions
    Super, special, smart- describes Mrs. Secreto well
    Squeak- describes the sound clearly
    4. Ball is sad and wet
    5. Super, special, smart. Line 11
    6. Aww man, she's our only fan. Line 4
    7. My shoes squeak like a mouse. Line 7
    8. Squeak. Line 7

  2. I like the humor of the poem. Two suggestions are better capitalization and grammer.
    1) AABB
    2) Depressing, humorous
    3) Crazed is described with a monkey
    Squeak like a mouse
    "Aww" was used
    4) "Sad and wet"
    5) Super, special, smart- Line 11
    6) "man" and "fan"- Line 4
    7) "squeak like a mouse"- Line 7
    8) "squeak"- Line 7

  3. I lke the hopeful optimism that this conveys, as well as bluntness of asking for an "A".

    To improve you could vary your word choice and go into more detail.

    1. AABB
    2. Optimistic
    3. crazed monkey, "soccer ball is sad and wet", AWW-describes your mood at the moment well.
    4."My mom cheers like a crazed monkey"
    5. In line 11, super, special, smart.
    6. In line 4, AWW man, shes our only fan.
    7. In line 7, my shoes squeek.
    8. In line 7, "squeek".

  7. The peom is about his failure of a life.
    Why would a puppy be cold and wet?
    Why did you add the line about the puppy? it doesnt flow well.
    How much did Cassidy help you Nathan?
    "The soccer ball is like a sad puppy, cold and wet
    "My mom cheers like a crazed monkey in the stands"
    "My shoes "squeak" like a mouse"
    "Your like a super, special, smart lady who should give me an "A""
    Those are the smilies and metaphors
    "Puppy" playful, happy, energetic, DRY, smart.

  9. This poem is about how his life is a failure.
    One question I have about a line is on line 1, why is the soccer ball wet?
    One question I have about a particular stanza of the poem is why you don't have any friends or a social life.
    One question I have about the entire poem is why Cassidy helped you write the poem.
    The soccer ball is like a sad puppy, cold and wet
    My mom cheers like a crazed monkey in the stands
    My shoes "squeak" like a mouse
    Your like a super, special, smart lady who should give me an "A"
    Mouse- small furry animal, squeaking, soft.
