Question:

Do you think this poem will get an A in 6th grade?

Ghostly Wonder

Are they real?
I don??t know.
At night I can hear them whisper my name.
I always hope it??s all a game.

Are they just a hoax? If not, are they here to help us?
Are they here to hurt us?
Why do they startle us?
Why do they make a chill go up our spine?
Why are their voices as sweet as a chime?

Why do they appear at night?
Why won??t they appear at daylight?
Were these souls once men?
Were these souls the left hand of evil?
Why will they not appear to us beings?
Are these spirits missing something in their life?

im in 6th grade and in this special class for young and gifted students(G.A.T.E.) and I was supposed to make three stanzas(paragraphs) So do you think this poem is good? Thanks.

Yes.

Standards are very low at the k12 level. I guess the point is that they tried, and this kind of effort will score very well. For a 6th grader, it's very nice.

I was in the GATE program myself when I was a kid, and I can assure you that no one in that program is "gifted." In the United States, we call people with nominal intelligence gifted. :(
