What is a teenager.
" what is a teenager?''
I was asked one day.
I knew what he was.
But what should i say?
He is noise and confusion
He is sielence thats deep.
He is Sunshine and laughter.
or a cloud that will weep.
He is as swift as an arrow.
He is a waster of time.
he wants to be rich.
but can't save a dime
He is rude and Nasty
He is polite as can be.
he wants parental guidence.
But fights to be free.
He is aggresive and bossy.
He is timid and shy.
He knows all the answers
But still will ask why.
He is akward and clumsy.
He is graceful and poised.
He is ever changing.
" What is a teenager?"
I was asked on day.
He is the future unfolding.
Dont stand in his way.
---- Elizabeth Langsdale

If you want a personal opinion, yes. I think it's expressive and paints a particularly accurate picture. From a technical point of view, the first few lines are a bit awkward but you get your rhythm after the weeping cloud part. You should check out http://www.poetry.com if you haven't already.

I think this is a really special poem. Would be good for graduation announcements, to read at a high school graduation or to put in a high school yearbook, or such.
