Incredulous (#SOL March 6, 2018)
Innovative student
Needed excuses to
Cover up
Real reason
Each assignment would not be
Done tomorrow
Until
Looking at the calendar
Only to see
Understanding dawn that
Saturday was next
This reminds me of a Shel Silverstein poem where the “sick” kid finally realizes its Saturday and is miraculously better. Your poem of Course has a different tone. Well done.
So clever. Difficult to minimize your words and maximize your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIt really was. I am definitely going to try it with my students soon!

DeleteFun to read, great idea for a slice.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteLove it! Anyone who has taught has had this student. You took me back to the classroom with your spare account. Less really was more this time.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was challenging to be brief yesterday!

ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I thought as I finished it!
