*shake shake shake*

An Etch-A-Sketch erased

It was only a scribble

And I went to the right

When I meant to go left

So I

*shake shake shake*

Leave no scribble trace

How was I to know

You liked scribbles

That went to the right

When they should have gone left?

*sigh*

Your turn

So You

*shake shake shake*

Time for new mistakes

I never would have tried to erase it, had I known.

I liked that a lot! Very nice metaphore. The *shake shake shake* was nice, something different. You don't see something like that in poetry very much. That's because it's hard to use that kind of writing without taking the attention away from the poem. Very well written.
