A Poem

Inside out Stoichiometry
I remember the funny word that I could not pronounce
Stoichiometry… I’m not sure if it’s spelled correctly
But it lingers in my memories as I sit and announce
Remark how difficult it seemed
The students struggled to understand
They screamed
In fear they walked into class
Attempting to recall the last lesson
It all accumulated into a mass
The students believed that mass was,
A forgotten concept from the past.
Somehow it related to the new topic at hand.
But we all agreed that to remember we must first collect.
We studied Stoichiometry
Inside out, day and night, week after week.
Elements and measuring,
Stoichiometry came to exist.
Through the process we all realized that it is a mass,
A rather proportionate concept
Somehow like carbonate monoxide gas.
However the students held their clenched fists.
The law of conservation of mass.
They sat there converting molar mass to grams
Grams to molar mass, they reminisced.
The old days of chemical formulas were brought back.
At the same time they waited to be dismissed.
From the pain, the suffering, the torture, the heart attacks.
Inside out Stoichiometry, a cyst?
In the end the light shone through
The sac concealing the wonders of the science
Burst open and filled the students with analytical review
Of all that composes chemistry into an alliance
Molecules, atoms, mass, grams, ratios, moles.
But what, who?
Stoichiometry inside out filled the holes,
The holes in our brains that lacked the knowledge of the chemistry
Making of the students masters in the arts of the library of science.

So we have to do some random project for my chem class, and i decided to write a poem about stoichiometry.im not a poem writer as you can see. can you guys read this and then tell me if it's decent, horrible, suggest?
