I need help with writing a poem for my 9th grade english class?

Question

it has to be a minimum of 12 lines,
2 shifts, and
4 poetic devices.
I hate poetry. I mean I hate writing poems myself.
I need help. It has to be on one of our journal entries from class.
Some of which are as follows
Superstitions
Spring Break
Should schools reward students who turn in another (or other) student(s) with weapons with $500.
Stuff like that. What should I do?!?
My brother tells me that I should make it funny because
otherwise people with think i'm a psycho person (??)
Help please!!

Ok I tried to make this funny.
Is it stupid?

I turned in that kid with the big black gun
So now I got 500 dollars
just sittin' in my pocket
Right or wrong?

Definately right.
No matter what they do to me
I still got my new MP3
All I want is that 500 dollars
just sittin' in my pocket.

Definately wrong!
No matter what song you
play that 500 dollars should be
earned the right way
Sure, turn them in
but for the right reasons
Don't be silly
Just for that 500 dollars
Sittin' in your pocket.

how can i make it better?

Ode to Spring Break.

I brake for thee, O sweetest spring.

warmer weather, funner times,
words, and verses, riddles, rhymes.

shifts, devices, stuff like that,
A rip, a rap,

Near rhymes, near misses, look out all,
There's worse to be had as we look towards fall,
But spring is here alas, a Lou (who is Lou and why is he in my poem?).?
I've done your homework, you can too.

Answer 3

I once wrote a poem.
It was not good,
it was not bad,
nor was it silly,
nor foolish,
nor sad.

It was just some words,
that on paper I put,
without much thought
or bother, or toil
but just because
Teacher said I ought.



Don't We all have the same problem?

Answer 4

Solemn & Enchanted the sunlight rides the tide.
Harbouring its' neighbor,the river stems the ride.
Convictions less,this new found home for thee.
So when the Earth,it does rise and set.
These homelands gain leave..
To and fro in me...
