    Cousin and I

    Goofin' with golfing in the
    cool basement air,
    practicing our Happy Gilmore swing.
    Cousin Colin went too far,
    had to hit it too hard.
    We had to retrieve what went lost
    in the zone that
    my mother curtained off.
    Our eyes instantly hone to the
    long, slender,
    alabaster skins, the
    bright orange,
    glowing stars.
    On the count of three,
    breathe in deep.
    Cough and wheeze.
    Choke and sneeze.
    Tease the taste with a
    Can of Coke.
    Don't tell Grandma what
    we did.

    the poem is good but you need to put words that go together in the same line and use pauses and line breaks.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
