Hey visitors! If you went to my school when you were in 6th grade, you probably remember reading The Thief and The Beanstalk, a book about Nick, a poor thief, who tries to make things right for Jack. It was a really good book, and when we finished reading it, we had an extra credit project we could do. We had a lot of choices, but I wrote a poem and I wanted to post it on my blog. Have you ever read a class book you really liked? Please, comment what you think of the poem and your answer.
It haunts me always
The gold just shows I’m rich
Not all of my guilt
Life was a broken stitch
But I stand tall
I am forgiven
For my horrible deeds
I am forgiven
I see the sun now
The sky seems more blue
I am out of my days of sorrow
Into the days of new
I owe it all to Nick
He stole the beans then climbed as a thief
He stayed and because of Gullinda
A hero came down and gave me relief
As I told Ann, I tell you now
Stealing not only gets you gold, but a lifelong burden
No matter if the target is a friend or a giant
Stealing is wrong no matter the reason
