Its not that I didn’t like English
I could just never read that well
I knew what most the words meant
But I had no idea on how to spell

I really enjoyed the Shakespeare plays
But do they need all those these and thys
I really loved to hear it
But to read it hurt my eyes

Mac Beth was possibly my favourite
Definitely the most fun
I dare do all but become a man
Who dares more is none

I wish we had done more poetry
But there were other things to learn
I remember an accented poem
About half cast being an insufficient term

I think it was my lack of skills
Like my handwriting and I couldn’t spell
Was the reason I always played up in class
And that’s why I didn’t do so well

Dear Andrew, I can tell that you love poetry and you write well. You have improved in spelling too. Don't let yourself discourage and if you have any doubts, check and verify. There are many possibilities online, i.e. www.yourdictionary.com. The spell checker does not correct "its" when it should be "it's" or "right" when it should be "write", because in their right context they are both correct. So you have to check the context too.

I enjoyed this poem and your reflections. Way to go!

Love,
Margherita

This was a delightful piece of poetry! ~ In both content and poetically rhythmic/rhyming form!

By this poem, I'd say you could move to the front of your English class!
