What’s Happening In My Brain
by
Greg Pincus
I’m wondering.
I’m pondering.
I’m focusing.
I’m wandering.
I’m thinking.
I’m scheming.
I’m solving.
I’m dreaming.
I’m looking.
I’m seeing.
I’m living.
I’m being.

Why I Didn't Turn In My Homework - a school poem/an excuse poem
Why I Didn’t Turn In My Homework
by
Greg Pincus
I left it at home.
It made me weep.
I did other work.
I fell asleep.
I must’ve lost it.
I did it last week!
What? There was homework?
To me it was Greek.
My printer was dead.
I don’t understand what it’s supposed to teach me and that wasn’t explained and I don’t learn anything when you give me a number grade or a check mark with no explanation of how to get better so the homework is a waste of my time and I didn’t do it because I hate it.
It’s not due tomorrow?
My doggie ate it.
Today's poem was inspired by the poetry prompt over at The Miss Rumphius Effect. It might've also been inspired by some real-life observation, too, and it's quite clearly from a student POV!

Instructions for Helping the World
Instructions for Helping the World
by
Greg Pincus
Write a poem.
Work with clay.
Draw or paint a day away.
Knit or dance.
Make a song.
Film a movie all night long.
Use your hands,
Brain and heart.
Live! Create!
Go make some art.
I had so many different titles for this one that I think they could make a "list" poem all by themselves.... To see how others are kicking off this year in poetry, head on over to Teaching Authors for the first Poetry Friday roundup of the year.

Reasons Why I Don't Write -- a procrastination poem/a writing poem
This is actually a repost of the very first poem I blogged, just over three years ago. It was (and is!) aimed more at my writer friends, as that pretty much was my entire audience back then (all 11 visitors that day, I believe!), but it still seems accurate to me....
