Writing Center Bookmark Poem

Oct 18th, 2008 | By IWCA Web Editor | Category: Featured Reading

Do essays make you feel uptight?
Do you have trouble when you write?
Perhaps you don’t know how to start
or end or write the middle part?

We can chase your fears away,
and show you what you want to say.

Do thesis statements make you wince?
Does evidence not quite convince?
Is organization but a dream?
(Five paragraphs are not the only scheme.)
Do transitions fail to bridge the parts?
Is sentence structure lacking art?
We can help you pave the way . . .
to understanding MLA and APA!

We can help you. We are wise.
We can teach you to fix your papers up.
(I mean, revise.)

Your confidence you will recover
as you learn — to write is to discover.

Come and let us be your shapers.
Better writers make better papers!

    This poem is a great way to encourage students to come to the Writing Center! You mention the problem areas that many students struggle with in a humorous way and let them know that help is available.

    Nice work! Witty and fun but with a lot of sense. Glad there are people who could help out with writing. :-) To write is indeed to discover, to discover a new world with which to connect with and live fully!!
