College essay

Writing a college essay
is a piece of resistance
you have to hit the receiver
with a very clear balance
between opinion and fact -
and general and specifics.
To get your message across
simply: not hieroglyphics.


From your brain to the paper
in the beginning - a diarrhea
of messed up blurry thoughts
a list of relevant words - ideas
jumbled in no order at all
then somehow a rugged draft
materializes into a skill
of college writing - a craft.


With a thesis at the end
of the short introduction -
the just controlling points
in three - a great solution
to reiterate your thought -
a completing paragraph
shows the finished product
without too many gaffes.
