Cassie's Writing
Cassandra Beth Montemurro Memorial

A Wish Poem Parody

Written January 1998

(Dedicated with love to Mrs. Susan Smith, with whom Cassie always knew she could be herself. -- ed.)

I wish
I didn't have to write this form poem
This poem that so many people
Have written before.

I wish
That periods one through eight
Didn't have to write the same as me.

I wish
A packet didn't try to dictate
The type of writing
I choose to create.

I wish
That I could write a poem
That no one could ever duplicate
Or even try to simulate.

I wish
My poem would be terrific
And different
And great.
