My Room

My room
My Haven
My block of peace
in a hectic world

My room
My personal disaster area
of piled clothing and blaring music
of comfortable chaos

My room
My harbor of fantasies
"Gee whiz, Ace, what kinda room is this?" asked Ace Detective's sidekick
"I don't know," Ace replied, "but I like it"

My room
My ongoing rationalization
Joe's brain: Joe's room is messy
Joe: What's new?

My room
My responsibility
the subject of many
"Go Clean Yours"

My room
My prison
the subject of many
"Go to Yours"

My room
My cubicle of terror
zone of nightmares
shelter of my angst

My room
My haven
My organized chaos
My ongoing rationalization
My responsibility
My harbor of fantasies
My prison
My terror
My block of peace
in a hectic world

"My Room" IS a funny poem because it reminds me of my room! How my room has a huge pile of clothes on the floor,and the music is always blaring.

I like this poem because i think it reminds a lot of people of their own rooms. It gives a clear image of what the room looks like.

wow, this poem basically descibed my room! I think that it probably also descibed about 75% of teen's rooms. This poem is relatable because it expresses how most people feel about there rooms, a small place of there own.

I have the image of a messy child.
The setting is in other world.
I'm sad when I read this poem.
The message for me is that some people don't have room because don't have money.

I translated your poem in Spanish.

Mi habitación
Mi paraíso
mi sitio de paz
en un hético mundo

Mi habitación
Mi personal zona desastrosa
Mis montañas de ropa y mi música altísima
de confortable caos

Mi habitación
Mi puerto de fantasía
“Caramba Ace ¿Qué tipo de habitación es esta?” Pregunta el ayudante del detective Ace
“No lo se”, responde Ace, “Pero me gusta”

Mi habitación
Mi actual razonamiento
Cerebro de Joe: La habitación de Joe es revoltosa
¿Qué es nuevo?

Mi habitación
Mi responsabilidad
La asignatura de muchos
“Vete a limpiar la tuya”
Mi habitación
Mi prisión
La asignatura de muchos
“Vete a la tuya”

Mi habitación
Mi cubículo de terror
Zona de pesadillas
Refugio de ansiedad

Mi habitación
Mi paraíso
Mi confortable caos
Mi actual razonamiento
Mi responsabilidad
Mi puerto de fantasía
Mi prisión
Mi terror
Mi sitio de paz
En un hético mundo

This is a very good poem. There is a very good story line to this. Think that the story line to this is that there is also not just a room you don't whant to clean. There is many things in life that you don't whant to clean. There is something like love you don't whant to clean. There is also so other thing like that in life that you whant to clean!

When I read this poem I can make a connection to my room and just like in the poem there are many piles of dirty clothes and also in the poem it makes me think of my room being my sanctuary becasue in the poem it says that his room is his sanctuary too.

when i read this poem i can make a visual in my head of a boy sitting in the middle of his bed and just looking down off of his bed and thinking this poem and he is also to scary to get off of his bed becasue he thinks that some think might jump out and bit him or some thing bad like that could happen to him.
