Of great and feeling souls...
This is when we had to write for some little magazine of works we had to put out for English or something:
Shakespeare Versus Godzilla
Shakespeare stood, alone, British
On the hamlet overlooking Stratford on Avon.
Burning, singeing works of brilliance
Blackened in the laser-nuclear fires
Of the God of All Lizards.
Irradiation killed the Bard.
Gene Kelly Versus The Mummy
The muscular thighs of Gene Kelly
Wrap around the dusty throat of Pharaoh,
Hapshetsut.
The dried larynx snaps, and crumbles into the dancer’s legs.
This is the tour-de-force I turned in when we had to write a huge poetry packet for some reason in sophomore Honors English, with different topics given to us, one of them being "America".....:
America: A Poem
By: Erin Hashert Morris
America
America
America

...As a side note I used to go around to people at lunchtime with a piece of paper in my hands and do poetry readings of this masterpiece (which I could do without laughing and very dramatically). Also, I never got this particular poem back from my teacher so I don't know what grade I got on it...
