What's Missing

I don't know what's missing.
I'm looking and looking and looking again.
But what is it?
It's a part that's important.
A thing you can't go without.
I think... I know... it's....
Darn. I lost it.
I truly don't know what it is...

Oh.
I know now.
for all this writing
I forgot
to put down
a surprisingly important symbol.

A tiny part of my ABCs

YWP

By Gregory Meyer
Williston Central School, Grade 8

If you write something that's really great
or even something that you hate
you can put it up for all to see
by posting it on YWP.

You will get comments to help you improve
so when you write new things, people will say, "Whoa! Dude!"
Whether you write about life, a tree, your pup
with comments, quality can only go up.

By signing up for YWP,
you can create a new ID.
Writers only look at the username,
so a back country kid can grow into fame!

With luck and skill
there's a chance your piece will
be printed in the news
for thousands of views.

So now you see
that YWP
is really great
to express love and hate.

So,
you see what I say?
It was born
to convey.
