just about where I want to be

0 posted 2004-06-22 12:07 PM

I was sitting in my classroom
Waiting for class to end
Ms. Martin was talking about variables
When four strangers walked in

Two girls and two boys
All dressed in black
They made their apologies
And sat in the back

After class was over
One of the girls named Alwye
Tripped on a chair
and said "How clumsy of me!"

One of the boys cleared his throat
And I looked over there
He was straightening his tie
And said his name was Jer

Then the other girl
Ran out into the hall
Yelling "my name is Marilyn"
and ran into a wall

While writing on the board
About the strength of human wills
The other boy was introduced
His name was poetry_kills

And all this time
Ms. Martin was staring
With her eyes open wide
She asked me if I knew them
I just wanted to hide

I was so embarrassed
Afraid I'd stutter
I ran from the room slamming the door
Before another word she could utter

Now this poem may be foolish
Silly, and have no plot
But hey with these moderators
It's the best I've got!

repost from archives..is that allowed?

this is cute

I think reposts are allowed, yes...just don't go overboard

would love to read some new poetry of yours, but I know it's hard at times to get over the writer's block hump...I repost stuff too just because I'm not able to spit out a new one.

Hello sweet. This is the first time I have popped in to read your stuff. I like the way this is done. It has a storyteller quality to it. As for the poem itself I remember a few teachers like this. But dang it has been so many years now. Anyway this is a great piece and I think I will bump it back up to the top of the list.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
