POETRY IN GENERAL!

 
first day at school
the other children look into me
for a sign of similar fear



Hushed children
with hushed voices
sit, kneel, huddle

The room around dark and
confused

With the school supplies lonely
the desks neglected

All seeing the hiding group
of hushed children
with hushed voices

Hiding from the
terror
that is not really there

Children giggle
squeal
eyes dart
teeth with braces clamped together

It is now when character is
revealed

At the young age of
9
10
11

Some worry and some tense
Some joke and some laugh

As the impending doom
that is not really there
looms behind the door.
