Here's another one. :)

Born American

by Macon W.

I could

Feel my legs 

Trembling

As I stared

into the screen.

The picture of 

Thousands of children

Was staring back

at me.

I’d never heard

of them

Before.

But now I do.

Was it chance that I was

Born American

Instead of

Ugandan?

That I was born

free 

Under the Stars and Stripes

Instead of

impressed into war

And sold into

slavery?

No

There is no

chance

There was a

reason

And I won’t let it go 

To waste.

I was 

Born American

For a reason.

haha my spam thing says wazu. Wazoo? :) I need to come up with a name for it... 

It's really good, especially "Backward," because I can relate to it. Here's one of mine (sorry it's the wrong font, Admins):

How to write a story

Writing a story

is like brewing soup:

it matters not only what you put into it

but how you cook it.

Not only an exiting plot is important,

but high-quality writing, too.

To write one,

you must stay awake at night,

tire your brain completely

by trying to come up with ideas

for a good story.

Come up with one or two ideas,

narrow them down,

then plan out the characters,

the setting,

the problem,

and all those other useful elements

You can draw a chart,

if you’re more organized than I am

but charts are optional

Many head-shaped dents in the wall later,

find your journal,

and your treasured pen

walk to a tranquil place

(or busy, if you’re a more social person)

it just has to inspire you.

Begin to scribble down your first draft

you start off slowly

but your pen speeds up,

starting to run a long marathon.

Need ideas?

Look around you—

your surroundings will provide inspiration.

When you think you’re done,

read the story again

add a description here,

subtract a boring word there

move a scene to a more logical place and time

at one point, hand the story to someone you trust,

ask for constructive criticism,

if they say it’s perfect,

snatch it from them

and go to another person.

Reread, reread,

revise, revise,

and one day

probably months or years later,

you’ll read it one last time,

deciding that it needs no more from you.

That’s when you type it,

making it legible

share it with others

and listen to their praise

Your friends’ awe is enjoyable

but the best part is when they laugh.

Sorry it's not that good; it's a work in progress 

Macon, I wished I lived in Middle Earth! *laughs*

You are an amazing author!  Here's some random Haikus:

as I relax on

hot, sweaty day he flies through

window, he bugs me.

blanket's too itchy

book's too good, in truth all i

am is too awake

Backward is a very good poem! I like all the things you say. Be careful with the Born American stuff though. It is a pretty good poem... and it's true that the USA has more money and better Social Services and government (well, in my opinion, and the opinion of a lot of other people who live there, which is natural) than a lot of other developing countries, but it's really easy to sound bad talking about that stuff. 

P. S. I am sort of an overly careful person, so don't worry.
