Not all writing has to be the same.Quick, easy, neat.The students scurry for their pens,On the walls…rulesIn the text book– rulesEverything is the sameThe book says so, the teacher says so,

so…Everything is the same—Including my writing.

It doesn’t matter what you write or say.

It is all going to be the same—follow the rules;

Rules should be and must be followed.I can’t even remember what I am

writing about because everything is the same.

Crot Samples

Liam is my little love but quite a challengeHow do I keep up? How can I be in three places

at one time?Books, cooking, meal planning, grading papers- In fact, I feel like I am stretched to be in

more than three places at one time.Books, playing games, finding the energy to be

silly or sing another song, or perhaps the same song for the 10th time

Liam is my little love and that is why I take on the challenge.

Internal thoughts Can be a single person’s thoughts or

multiple points-of-view or perspectives

The genre or form does not have to be a poem but is often seen in poetic form
