Last Day of School
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
No more initiative to lack
Young voices no longer call me back
End of term
My clock is ticking
The last minutes in this classroom
Tidy up the debris myself
Books not fully arranged on shelf
Half-eaten chocolate bar
Unfinished game of dominoes
Math project incomplete
Talk of spelling and grammar
Irrelevant now after the drama
My chalk marks are easily erased
Switch off lights - last thing.
Then the long silence
