I had an english assignment to do poetry. I had to have something from daily life, and 3 different scenes/stanzas and atleast 6 lines a stanza. Anyway, some people thought it was funny but I guess to get the full effect you have to know our teacher.
Comments please.
And no, its not serious nor intended to be great.
Geometry Class – a sarcastic melodrama
I see smiling faces,
Diminishing, as they float by,
Exiting the real world, entering another,
Passing through the threshold of death,
Into the terrible realm of math,
Educational Torment.
I look into the window,
Wishing to leave my prison behind,
Hoping to pass through the portal…
*CRACK!* The teacher’s yardstick whistles past my face,
Slicing my desk into halves along the way,
I hear a shrill screech; “See me after class!”
I’ll never daydream the same again.
Test day…
Nervous faces around the room anxiously waiting,
Test begins…
Already the smell of eraser shavings clouds the air,
Around me, fellow colleagues fruitlessly try to fix their mistakes.
Times up, too late for revisions,
Better then usual, only half the class failed.
