Learning about the earth; God's biggest boon,
We wish the period ends soon;
The teacher continues to decorate the blackboard,
With latitudes and longitudes our brains can't afford!
A mosquito comes to us and mocks,
And tells us to concentrate on sedimentary rocks;
Squatting on the globe, it laughs aloud;
For not having to study, it's too proud!
A sudden bombardment from the teacher,
Makes our wisdom and legs stagger!
And after several disgusting looks,
She's coaxed to solve her own hooks!
We're a group of back-benchers near the wall,
And a load of monotony here we haul!
For what we hear seems too absurd,
And we don't even understand a single word!
The last period is such a bore;
Never do we want to learn more;
Our gang of friends always thinks a new,
To turn an hour to minutes few!
We unwrap toffees to sweeten our mouths,
To remove attention from east, north, west and south;
We care for none but one day of the week;
It's Sunday, when we aren't restricted to speak!
Finally, we hear the school pity,
And the tintinnabulation ends the monotony.
We shout out, for school gives over,
Before we needed to put pens to paper!
Author notes
this poem has all my feelings about our geography lesson. that's the period when we pay least attention in the class. and we do our best to entertain ourselves during the torture class...

Very good. I love this line
A mosquito comes to us and mocks,
And tells us to concentrate on sedimentary rocks;
Squatting on the globe, it laughs aloud;
For not having to study, it's too proud!
Very cute. -

hey mister kartikey, let me tell you that even i am not one of the backbenchers!!
and that's not really because of my spectacles [even i wear them], and then in our school we keep changing places every week... like we rotate and finally we end up to the back seat, and then again in front!!!
glad to know u liked it!
-
Cute
really cute.Unfortunately I never got a chance to enjoy like that.Competeion and my spectacles always forced me to take the front seat.Its a great and cute poem. Nice emotions.Your teacher and the mosquito are familiar but boys usually end the lives of mocking mosquitos and get them rid of the boredom of life.......

ohhhh... i'm glad to remind you of ur school!!!! it's mostly boring, and that's what i have described here! thanks for liking the poem!!!
-
Haha. This is a great piece of poetry in my opinion. You did well with the rhyme and flow, but most of all I liked the imagery! It was fantastic! It was really as though I was at school. Although school does suck, that is the best compliment I can give you about this poem - it came alive beautifully.
I loved the stanza about the mosquito, and how you brought in ordinary school things like a blackboard, a globe and the latitudes and longitudes - very effective.
Take care,
DancingRed.

ROFL ..Shivani, this amizing picture reminds me about my own scholl days in the past. Latitudes and longitudes, what was the horizontal and what the other one? Weired wire followed by numbers . Amazing work my dear friend. Also, well known picture:

You realy makes my day brighter! I do not agree with Todmaster that this is not poetry. Probably he don't know much about free poetic style.

oh i'm sorry to disappoint you!! this was, as i have also said b4 in another reply to a comment, just a way in which i poured out my heart!!! thanks anyway for stopping and reading my poem

Interesting beginnging, pretty cool ideas. But as poetry it doesn't really work. Needs a lot of work on rhythm, you cram huge amounts into each line disrupting the flow.
