St.Anne's High School.

A very very simple poem, I wrote when I was around thirteen, so obviously you won't find any difficult words or phrases. But the poem is sweet, and enjoyable. I'm eighteen now!

St.Anne’s High School XIV-IX-2009 10 a.m.

 

Opposite my school,

Separated by a clustered street

Was a lovely convent

Where only girls were allowed

 

Mornings of arrival, we would stand

At our gates, this side of paradise

Winking and giggling at the parade which unfurled

 

Mornings as usual, they would smile and leave

Some would wait

And prick our adolescence

 

Their beige uniform, had a red belt

Which made it a neat skirt

 

My friend’s glorious choice

Would release her hair-band (purposely)

And sway her curls

His mouth wide open

We were just friends,

With the taller ones off course

No hope in such tall cases

 

I remember,

The stream of small girls

Hurrying into the half closed gate

 

And when the morning bells,

On either sides rung

We would draw back in reluctance

 

Although

Some few marginal leftovers, on either side of the street

Still staring at each other

Searching for questions

 

To be answered later in the evening.

Author's Note

St.Anne's was a convent school opposite mine, which was strictly only for girls. And contrastingly, ours was an only boys school. Kindly excuse my simplicity and immaturity, I was really young when I wrote it.

This is cute since it came from your yunger self. It's like peering in to the minds of a young boy who attended an all boys school Thanks for posting it up, made me smile and remember how school use to be lol. :P

I thought this was very good. I think it's simplicity adds so much to the poem, than more complex sentences. It is very sweet, and well-written.
