Write Me A Poem!

Yes, that's right - write me a poem.

I don't care what it's about. I don't care if it rhymes. I don't care how many lines it has.

I DO care that YOU wrote it. I DO care that you try your best. I DO care that it's about something you care about.

Write it, type it, and turn it in = extra credit!

Failure Does Not Mean You're a Failure

Failure does not mean I’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.

Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.

Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.

Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.

Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.

Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.
