Ed
by Andrew , grade 5
 
My inner poet has been trying
To jump out of me,
Almost like a honey bee
Escaping from a hive.
My inner poet,
His name is Ed,
Paints everything a cardinal red
Which makes me blue.
My inner poet
Doesn't eat much—
Only has lunch—
Vegetarian.
My inner poet
Surprises me by jumping out
And shouting about
My poems.
My inner poet
Gets bored with me
And talks to my knee
About politics.
But most of the time
He's really shy,
A friendly guy,
My inner poet.
