I Forgot


I Forgot
©1991 Susan Noyes Anderson

I wrote a good story, but something went wrong.
I had all the characters where they belong.
The setting was great, and the word use was strong.
The length was just right ... not too short, not too long.

I checked everything. I indented a lot.
I spelled stuff exactly the way I was taught.
I wrote a good story, but my teacher thought
it had one major weakness: I left out the plot.

  12. Thanks for the great music! It made me smile right out loud! And yes - the plot- I find I do that more and more..start a story and then totally forget what it has relevance to!! somewhere there has to be a reason, right??

  16. I think your plot is about not having a plot (to the poem anyways). Maybe your story is just about description.
