Jake Austin is an 8th Grade student from California. He also reads my poetry. His school assignment was to do a report about a poet (he chose to write about me) and write poetry. I am proud to post his poem, “Cars”, below.
Cars
Cars Cars everywhere there’s cars
Small cars big cars
Skinny cars fat cars
My favorite cars fast cars
Not slow cars or race cars
Street cars or old cars
And not many new cars
I don’t like expensive cars
I don’t like cheap cars
I like a nice running fast car
My favorite car is the 1970 Dodge Challenger
I like it because it’s fast
And I like it because it’s full of DANGER
