The Peaceful Poet
A desk that’s covered in papers and ink,
You can tell that this is a place to think.
If you feel around on the chair,
You can tell someone’s been sitting there.
A half-eaten bagel still piping hot,
Probably very recently bought.
But wait, what is this on the floor?
It’s the writer, he won’t write anymore.
About this poem
I've always loved writing, and two years ago, I submitted this into the Grade 5 Polar Expressions Poetry Contest. I didn't win but it was published.
