Exam Fever

The exams are coming…
And dangers are looming.
The pressure is mounting,
as the teachers are fuming.

There are so many hopes –
You can’t let down any.
But they’re difficult to fulfill,
As expectations are many.

Inhaling the bitter aroma,
Of the caffeine on the table…
So that to study,
The whole night you’re capable.

This is an ordeal, only
The concerned will understand.
You keep slipping in and in,
Into this murky quicksand.

Thinking skills are at their worst
And guessing game’s at its best,
You do things first and think later as,
Your defunct brain is put to a test.

When you can’t answer,
You tear off a few strands,
Of your beloved locks
With your very own hands.

Even after a bad exam,
You come home with a fake smile.
Then till the results come out,
You wait in tension all the while.

You heave a deep, deep sigh
When this business is done.
You feel really relieved,
And you yearn for some for fun.

But all the tension’s not over
Till your results come out.
If it’s bad, then you’re yelled at
If good, then your turn to shout.

You may think that job’s over,
Time to relax – you anticipate.
Then next exam’s announced
Oh! Such a cruel twist of fate!!!

Please tell me what you think

    Don't set expectations high, I know how exams are, and the pressure that goes with it. LOL I like that last line. I remember the bad exams and getting yelled at.

    how funny. Even though I'm 100 years older than you, I get this more than you know. Always hated this part of the year in school.
    Don't pull all your hair out.
    Breathe.
    You'll live through this, so will everyone else<

        I don't say if it's good or bad, just if I liked it or not.
        I liked your poem very much. Excellent work.

    Unusual subject matter for a poem
    but I enjoyed the read.
    Was impressed that you managed to
    keep the form and rhyme scheme
    through-out.
    Great Job!

  • gud

  • Nice

    really good poem
    nice flow
    humor sense is appreciable
    the tease remains right from the first line to the last
    the irony is projected nicely
