The following piece of writing is a poem I wrote as a response to Rules of the Road, a novel by Joan Bauer. The main theme of the book is how life is like driving on a road, and you just have to understand your problems and move by them. I wrote this poem in order to show what the theme means.
Driving down a winding road,
Trunk packed up with many a load.
Car filled up with family and friends,
That give the path curves and bends.
Some are nice, yet some are crude,
But one must learn to ignore the mood.
Problems arise and slow the trip,
Making it difficult to get a grip.
Contemplating answers to the unknown,
Getting lost, and feeling alone.
Things happen that change your life,
And bring on unnecessary strife.
Time goes on, and so does the road,
But one must learn to deal with the load.
