***This was written in 8th grade. Our not-so-bright teacher wanted the class of 13 year olds to write a romantic love poem. I felt left out because I'd never even been in a relationship, must less been in love.
Wherever I am,
As long as I’m out,
Over the blue waters I go
To catch some trout.
But never after a full moon.
That’s when they have their feasts.
With the moonlight shining over the water,
Have you ever spent a day in the city?
If you haven't, what a pity!
With the busy, bustling crowds in Times Square,
There's never a moment to give or spare.
With so much to do, so much to see,
1. I was supposed to be a boy.
Doctor’s conceptions and my family’s history stated
That only two girls had been born into the Shepardson family in three generations.
I was going to be a boy.
