What can I add as a last line to my poem?

Question

I have to write a list poem for a class similiar to this poem: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15725

The poem I have so far is:

I could pick up something I found on the ground, and be mistaken for a theif. Part of the sky would fall, and it would only fall on me. I could get bitten by a snake, and even break 10 more rakes. I could fall of a ship and drownd to death, I could have a sleepless night and get no rest. I could forget all my information I studied for five hours straight, and who knows, i may even die the next day. I could get blamed for something I didin't do, I could be lied to and used.

I can't think of anything else, so, what should I use for a funny closing line like in the poem? Oh, and if you even have any ideas that I could add to it that would be great!

Thanks :)

Answer 1

My favorite lines are, "I could pick up something I found on the ground, and be mistaken for a thief. Part of the sky would fall, and it would only fall on me."

So far you done a good job with the assignment so trust yourself with the ending.

"But regardless of this....." sounds like the better ending. I get writers block sorry i can`t help you much.

You done a good job on your own.

This has all the making of a good hip hop song! You need to be more descriptive and throw in pronouns and more adjectives. Watch me flow...

CAN YOU BELIEVE MY LIFE?

Picked up a dollar from the ground and got taxed fifty cents/I could walk into a mob and call them ladies and gents/An old lady dropped her purse and they called me a thief/I would see the truth for miles and stare in disbelief/I could fall right off a ship and land in dirt/And I always tie my shoes before I button my shirt/I would run out of the ocean and drown in sand/I never learned to crawl before I made a stand/I could get bit by a snake/And break ten more rakes/I could shake a cherry tree and get nothing but grapes/On Halloween I went into my bank disguised/Can you see where this is going?/Can you believe my life?/I could have both eyes closed and never get no rest/How you gonna be Superman without the S on your chest?/I forgot what I have studied for five hours straight/How do you take your time when you gonna be late?/Why did I pay for something that I could've got for free?/Why do they ask for I.D.when you're getting an I.D.?/I always get blamed for things I didn't do/How can I have the right foot but grab the wrong shoe?/I could get bit by a snake/And break ten more rakes/I could shake a cherry tree and get nothing but grapes/On Halloween I went into my bank disguised/Can you see where this is going?/Can you believe my life?

I gave it some edge and humour... enjoy!
