A Biology Major Walks into a Poetry Class...

Walk in have not a clue about meter, Isn't sistena a spanish sweet sixteen? Meanwhile, a colleague reads her piece, not sure if its about sex or coffee. Students lend suggestions on what to fix What she keeps, what lines unnecessary, no shakespere, but at least I'm funny. Hopefully get a crack out of me cuz Emily Dickinsons reincarnated she's sitting a few seats left of me. Couple seats up sits Whitman's legacy. Syllable counter online works for me. Hope reading my poem won’t make people flee. Write about drugs, starts a controversy. They are an accelerated Grammarly. Wrote a sistena with an envoi too, Maya Angelou, row three liked it too. Turns out its not a spanish sweet sixteen, I progressed in adjusting to rhyme scheme. My works not edel white, its got some gray. By watching, polishing it up my way. The preemie of my class but its okay, Biology major could still learn your ways. Read some haikus,
