A Quotation Poem

A school assignment :)

Quotations

If you need to say something, but aren't sure how to say it

Then ask me, the quotations, and I'll relay it

I'll draw from my bottomless hole of knowledge

Be it information on sharks, the weather, or even college.

//

Looking for details from a reputable source?

Turn to me, your right-hand man, I'll unearth them, of course

Worried that it's plagiarism you're about to commit?

Just loop me around, and like aliens I'll transmit

Your data, without toppling into the copycat tar pit

//

And what if you're writing a brilliant book

When your protagonist declares, by hook or by crook...,

How do you designate that it's the hero's speech,

Not the flowery descriptions, but something to preach?

Just yell "Hey quotation marks, come over here!"

And I'll attach to the words of soldiers, slaves, and even puppeteers

//

Now as you can see, I have no ideas of my own

But what I bring to the table, you won't bemoan

I'll help you in essays, and especially narratives

My two quotation arms are essentially imperatives.

Author's Note

I know, I know, it's weird, but we were asked to write about some part of writing (e.g. adjectives, commas), and I just experimented.

This is actually pretty good
good luck on your assignment :)
I like the very first couple of lines they defiantly set the mood for the rest of the piece
good job
