We live and we learn. Good poem. Good alliteration with school/smoked. Good rhyme with school/cool/fool. Good choice of artwork. Great. Good luck in the contest.

school
smoked and toked to be cool
fool

Lots of truth to your poem. I remember kids starting to smoke in high school to be cool, part of the "in" group (and I'm 59).

Nicely done, good message. John

I like this a lot. You chose a simple thyme scheme to give you a great rhyme choice range. And I think the 'school-cool-fool' pattern is quite catchy. I found it catchy along with the simple message and narrative. Logical stuff really; smoke because it's cool while at school, you end up a tool. Yeah, sorta complex in its simplicity. Good luck for the contest.

The peer pressure is so strong, the stakes so high, the outcome so often tragic. It can be like a gill net. An easy way in and no way out again. How eloquently your short poem states the problem. It is a pithy well-considered warning .
