HOMEWORK

Darkened corridors loom before her minds eye
Twisting, turning but offering her no alibi
Deeper into the depths of memories past
She stumbles and staggers but still steadfast

Forgotten nightmares gather to stand in her way
Challenging so her judgment they might sway
But deeper into her thoughts she does descend
Till cobwebbed corners say she has reached the end

Desperate within herself she starts to fight
Willing to grasp any straw leading to the light
Too late, now faced with reality she cant quit
So she tells the teacher "Sorry my dog ate it?"

Author's Note

I leave most punctuation to the reader that they can read the poem in their own meter, mood and motility. I thank you for taking the time to read my work.

You could have used the excuse Ronnie used, he blamed his sister Ha! Ha!

Very nice poem!
Great idea for a poem!
Well done!!

[Bear]

Thank you for stopping by and I really can't take credit for the idea, I remember seeing it on the little rascals when I was just a kid but I just borrowed the idea I didn't steal it :~)

[Terry O'Leary]

A very funny piece!
Perhaps notso funny for the victim...

[Bear]

Right you are but at least the dog was educated :~)

[Ronnie]

What an outstanding piece of writing. I loved it to much. And it made me feel just like how I felt when I was a kid. Except my excuse was "my sister ate it" JK. Good job Bear.

[justdandy]

This is exactly how I felt when I was a kid... Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories... :)

[Bear]

You are welcome, but don't you mean childhood nightmare :~)

[justdandy]

hahahahahahaha yesssss

[JMKane117]

This is ridiculously dark for something so funny and light, but I definitely remember feeling this way on more than one occasion. I'm impressed Bear!

[Bear]

Thank you, the feeling of impending doom and the imagined consequences for not having ones homework makes for some dark thinking in deed but in adults the gloom seems to last a lot longer :~)

[Insight "MH"]

Nice and funny end. You've played with my feelings here "touché" ^_^

[Bear]

Ha! Ha! Blame the feather in my hand attached to the ink pen :~)

[Insight "MH"]

will do, will do. ^_^

[Connie]
