48 My 6th Leaf

48.

My 6th Leaf



Torn thee from torn leaf

A long one – not brief

Unlike the first five

This one's not alive

Don't know its name too



Décor by first year

On table to cheer

By someone from them

For only one name

BSEd One, lo!



First day of Mid-Term

Their very first sem

Eighteenth of August

While I am their host

For Ma'am Jul's exam



As said – on table

On vase – with bundle

With flowers – other

Surround them – cluster

It's one of six leaves



Felt I bit boring

For students taking

Exam not over

I noticed flower

Pre-lunch time stupor.
