Monopoly Poem By
Cara

Introduction

My name is Cara Sato-Connell and I wrote this poem because I was inspired by Ms. Georgia Heard's “Six Room Poem” using your five senses to describe something. Imagine you have six rooms and each of them holds one of your five senses. That is how I wrote this poem. I chose to write about Monopoly because it was something that made me think. Our game of monopoly lasted 3 days and it was becoming too long to handle so we didn’t finish the game. I still wonder if anything would have changed if we had not cut it short.

What is the secret to winning this game?

A game board
Two die
And houses are stored
In reach of the banker
Who deals with the money
...And more...
There is a jail,
A free parking,
And characters too

What is the secret to winning this game?

I choose the dog
And it’s my chance to shine
The spotlights on me
Until my turn waves goodbye
And the iron steals the show

What is the secret to winning this game?

I listen to the banker,
Calculating our cash
I hear the
die
roll
In a very quick flash
I try to block out
all the victory shouts
From the top hat when
Somebody lands on Boardwalk
beginning to wail
In deep despair

How could they win after all that happened?
The game’s true victor emerges at the end
I guess that’s patience, you just have to wait,
Or you might end up losing like I did that day
But what would have changed if we continued to play?
Would something be different or all stay the same?

Conclusion

After I wrote this poem I realized that everything has an impact.
I wish I could see what would happen if we took “the other path”.
It made me think of what is going on right now with the pandemic.
I wonder what impacts it will make when it's over.
When is a good time to stop something?
What will happen when you do?
