Cruel School

By that pool, where the shadows did rule, A confused kid, thought he'd end it cruel, He plunged his weary head, With a heart capped of dread, But recalled he has homework for school. Picture Prompt Poetry Contest: Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Margarita Lillico

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.
