Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

He Is a Superspectacle

He is a superspectacle
Loud and proud
A one-man show

The teacher wants him out
The kids are delighted
Egging him on, loving the way he has taken the class hostage

He adores the attention
He has never had it before
Herein lies the problem

L Milton Hankins September 12, 2021 at 10:29 AM Yes. Not easy to deal with because sometimes the hunger for attention is never sated. Also dangerous. I believe this is the motivation of some killers. Some people thrive on notoriety, and I suppose that some children may as well. Very thought-provoking poem. Caren Krutsinger September 12, 2021 at 12:28 PM The children that refuse to leave the room do so because they do not want to lose their audience; it is difficult to retrain children not to laugh at the class clown, especially when they know how much he or she needs their attention. They are often aware more than the teacher.
