Poem about my high school experience

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Good or no?</p>

<p>Every Day
I walk past the ferns
Through the metallic doors
The green lockers and cinderblock remind me that I am not in a good place
The giggles begin
Oh no, they see me
Should I run or should I stay secure?
Should I sin or should I respect?
I am approached, the pom pom's and glitter in my face
The words are spoken
I feel out of place
I am sent off into the hallways of doom
I feel isolated
I feel lonely
Up the Stairs I go to my humble locker
My home, I will not be judged
But I am judged, the cloud of giggles returns
Oh no, they see me
I walk down the stairs crying
I am not in a good place
I walk back outside the metallic doors
Past the ferns</p>

<p>It’s good. Nice use of parallelism. The obscurity–"the pop pom’s and glitter in my face–I like that part too. The fern at the end referring back to the beginning–clever. Overall, this poem is actually cleverly written. However, in “cloud of giggles,” “cloud” doesn’t seem to fit in context.</p>

<p>It’s pretty sad if that’s how you sum up your high school years.</p>

4

<p>Oh, I see. “Cloud” does fit in context because you’re referencing a rain cloud. That’s ingenious. So nvm what i said about cloud earlier.</p>

<p>So, the poem is the truth like Cody2010 said. I hope college would be better for you.</p>

<p>Pretty insightful. I think pretty much everyone in high school- even those who enjoyed their experience- feels lonely or isolated at some point. You conveyed those feelings quite thoughtfully.</p>

<p>haiku:</p>

<p>i hate hard classes,
i’m excited for college,
it will be so fun.</p>

<p>hahahha</p>

<p>^ Who said college classes are gonna be any easier? haha</p>

8

<p>College classes may be difficult, but the greatest benefit is no 8-hr school day for five days every week.</p>

9

<p>^ Yes good point. Can’t say I’m gonna miss the long and grueling classes aspect of high school.</p>

<p>Spring Acrostic</p>

<p>Suffering from pollen intake</p>

<p>Praying that it’s 75 tomorrow</p>

<p>Realizing that it’s never 75, this is North Carolina</p>

<p>I go to school and sneeze at least 200 times a day, and wipe my nose twice as much.</p>

<p>Not so fast Mr. Sniffles, Claritin will ease the pain</p>

<p>Golly gee, it didn’t work, time to whine about it all day and nap for 3 hours when I get home.</p>
