Around 15 years ago I had a school assignment to produce poems in many different formats. I recently stumbled upon those poems I wrote and now posting them here to be digitized. I read them and realize to most, I look like a deranged child and to others just another random kid.

So enjoy. Misspellings, bad grammar and all - a direct port.

**~~Sonnet~~ Ballard**

*There once was a goat named Bill*  
*He live in the town of Dill*  
*He usually took trips to the Hill*  
*The goat takes sips of Thrill*

*He takes people to the sawmill*  
*Its there, he met Jill*  
*They both went to Kansas, where there are no hills* 
*They met a prophet named Jim* 
  
*Who told them they were to kill* 
*Even though they were at a grill* 
*The grill was cold so there was no chance for fish* 
*The fish tastes like cherry pits* 
  
*And those pits were dread* 
*So the goat left dill* 
*And returned to the island of Phil* 
*Once again get reunited with Nill*

*McDonalds, McDonalds how I hate thou place* 
*I once met my wife there on a date*

*It was raining and pouring that bad day* 
*It still remember my wife say*

*Sometimes you think you know someone*

*Until they find you and fight* 
*The fight is over when one is done*

**Preposition Poem**

*Through the land I find a sandman* 
*Among him is his band* 
*Beyond that is a plan* 
*During the plan, it will take the land*

*Below sandman is his enemy Spiderman* 
*Between the suits is Peter, kissing Mary Jane* 
*Amid both of them sits a man* 
*Beneath the man is a bomb*

**Ballad**

*Technology is soon too good for us* 
*It slowly gains more info than Gus* 
*As we evolve we improve their world* 
*Till were fighting a full wage war*

*We think were imrpoving our daily life* 
*When all were doing is killing our bikes* 
*It's too soon so pick a side or wait till they decide* 
*These machines are pulling our life aside* 
  
*Even Google was become too much* 
*Its because Technology is grasphing the Clutch* 
*We need to take a stand with everything we got* 
*Otherwise we will be left in the dust* 
  
*It's all too easy, they will learn soon enough* 
*That were the ones that need to rest*

Looking back at this shows a few things:

- I was obsessed with death and weapons, I blame reading a book called "*[Give a Boy a Gun](https://amzn.to/3zE2lHi?ref=connortumbleson.com)*" that I found in the school library and read.
- I enjoyed Spiderman and that kicked off my appreciation for the MCU universe
- I had a good grasp already that technology had a negative side
