Back To School

Summer is now over,  
We’ve had lots of fun
Swimming, jumping and cycling
Always on the run.

The first day of school, 
Can be hard for mum and dad.
Part of you feels excited 
The other part feels sad.

Arriving at school in your new uniform, 
Bright and very eager, ready to perform.
Seeing new teachers is kind of scary
But you’re fine by mid-February.

When days and weeks go flying by,
You learn about acids and alkali.
Us students know when starting school,
That there is always going to be a bunch of rules.

With tons and tons of homework loading up,
The teachers just sit down with their teacup.
Just try your best at everything,
then only will you be king.

When school days end,	
You are free to go at last.
At half-three the bell does chime,
Finally! It is now home time!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Ahh, my brother, I can feel your pain coz last week was the first day of my school, I am in grade 11 by the way, doing my IGCSE and was planning to write a poem with the same topic, but since after schools, your days are really busy, I am not really able to find time, anyway. Anyway, since you are new on poetrysoup, I wish you a very warm welcome here, I am sure that you will enjoy your long stay here, good luck and continue to write
