READY
to begin life
with a child's fantasy,
lost dreams, of castles in the sky.
Hopscotch, jump rope, kickball, a world of games.
Smiles, Santa Claus, tooth fairy,
growing up learning truth
I am really
Ready
SET
Prepared for college
in mail S.A.T.'s scores
nerves stand on end as we await
Foundation
Pay
Bills
Pay
Raise
Pay
Attention
The family grows
as does the photo album.
Waiting for those moments
Funny, happy, celebrations
Kids fights
Boss yells
401 retirement
Grandkids
Travel to places we've never been.
Heaven Calls
GO!
Author notes
So you can understand what i've done... I actually took your words: Ready Set Go... and transposed them into 3 parts of life. The 1st part is a Rictameter regarding your childhood. The upper half of the Rictameter is where you believe in all the things children do, the bottom half is children who grow up by learning the truth. This immediately goes right into a Chinquain which is another transistion in life itself of College, Finally the final transistion for adulthood free verse which also has 3 stanzas~
The structure are in a order for the following reasons cause as I child you should have restrictions. Rictameter is very restrict. As young adults your restrictions isn't so bad... Chinquain...is a bit lose allows you to flex a bit... as Adult you can make your own decisions... hense free verse.
I hope the flow of the write makes this unique and different. Thanks for the opportunity.

This is so good! I love it! I like how you used the three words and incorperated them into your poem and made it into three different sections, each having a form. Great work!
