A History Memoir

A poem to my history teacher!! Including history!!! Not sure how I'm going to make this good...

Past

 

The mighty general

Jumps down from

His stead

 

Barking out orders

Encouragements,

And raising spirits.

 

He arms his soldiers

With spears, swords,

And shields

 

Anything to help

Win this timeless,

tiresome battle

 

Yet already tired,

The adrenaline

Flows through

 

Infecting the army

With confidence

To go in fearless

 

The tough general

Has the most

Adrenaline

 

Knowing that this battle,

Coming out victors or rabbles

Is all by his doing, all his choices

 

The general remounts

Knowing he's done his best,

Charges into battle, ready.

 

Present

 

The teacher enters

His class, plans in place

Ready to help.

 

He helps his students,

With words of

praise

 

He readies his students

With pencils, paper,

and notes.

 

Doing everything

To prepare for

This test

 

The students figet

In their worn seats

Ready to begin

 

The paper is down

And the students

Rush, prepared.

 

The teacher sits,

And watches his

Hurried class.

 

The knowledge

That the outcomes

Are by his doing.

 

But the teacher

Know's he's done

His very best.

 

And that's why

These lucky

Students

 

Will pass this

Challenging

Test.

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

This is a thanks to my history teacher, who tries his hardest, and prepares us for each test the best that he can.

Very good. I love how you show past AND present. One small correction. At the end you say 'with pass this challenging test.' I know that when you read this you will probably be hitting your head on the keyboard and know that it is 'will.' Good job though! Keep writing!
