9/8/2024 for September Falls Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

September, once, in golden days of youth, Enduring boredom left by summer fun, Perchance, 'twas time, and yes, it was in truth, To go to school again, so off I'd run. Enquiring there, the posted classroom list, Mentioning names of friends and one to teach, Below the teacher's name, the friends I'd missed. Em, which teacher? The one to purr or screech? Responsibly, I must get some supplies, For, I'm a big kid, up another grade - A notebook and lunch pail to show the guys, Lest I forget, some marbles I can trade. Let's hope my teacher puts my little chair, So, I'm next to Annette with braided hair.

Dear David, I adore this nostalgic poem of September back to school days. You capture the exuberance of youth, and the tender crushes "Let's hope my teacher puts my little chair,/So, I'm next to Annette with braided hair." with poetic finesse. Congratulations for your success in Andrea's contest. Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan

Hi Susan - thanks! Yep, in 4th grade, I lucked out. My chair was next to the new girl - Annette.

Thanks Karen, glad you liked it. I always couldn't wait for school to end, and then I couldn't wait for school to start.
