Apple For Teacher

An apple for the teacher in my hands
And how I wonder what she’ll have to say;
Will she be mad? I hope she understands,
There’s nothing else – it’s all I have today.
I worked so hard to get my homework done
And didn’t play at all or waste my time
At foolish tasks or games, no not a one
But wisely spent my efforts writing rhyme.
I’ll blame it on my little dog named Zach,
The one who always greets me at the door
Exuberant with joy that I came back,
Afraid, I think, I would return no more.
I really did the homework but it’s gone;
He ate the paper it was written on.

This is cute. I've been trying to write a sonnet, but my mind just won't work in iambic pentameter. You seem to have it down pretty good here.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Almost missed this beauty.

I love sonnets, but they're still difficult.

Not,

This was fun reading and one of these days, I will attempt a sonnet. I hope that you had as much enjoyment writing it as your readers enjoyed the reading. Thanks for sharing.

Ladies, thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. And yes, it was fun to write. But I love to write sonnets anyway.

Thanks,
Pete
