I love slam poetry

Slam poetry is a type of poetry that is moving, very powerful, and it expresses how someone feels. Here is one I wrote about my pencil.
The Pencil
The pencil, the pencil.
It hits my paper one million times.
I know my pencil wouldn’t write a lie, oh my pencil, my pencil.
You should always keep one by.
The pencil, the pencil with its wooden body.
The pencil, the pencil this is your last shaving so I guess this is goodbye.
