Some of the best poems are often those that are inspired by another poem. The concept is to take the framework of a poem you like, and then revise it to make it fit you. Just remember to always give credit to the author by stating, "Inspired by . . ."
Written by Kristine O'Connell George
The other me knows what to wear,
fits in, doesn't stick out,
is one of them.
The other me remembers jokes,
doesn't get teased
by anyone.
The other me doesn't have big feet,
doesn't stumble,
doesn't drop her lunch tray.
So where is she,
this amazing
Other Me?
Reading Workshop students, please take this poem, or another of your favorites and write an "Inspired by" poem.
