That Friday Feeling

At last it was my bus stop
So excited that I could pop
I walked home with a skip and a hop.

School was out for the time being
Now we’ll be seeing
From school the children are freeing

School for the weekend is out
It is now all about
People beginning their weekend route

Saturday will soon come
Sunday right after bringing sadness to some
For Sunday is school’s eve, but not everyone will be full of glum

Let’s not focus on sadness coming here
I need this to be clear
That I want my fridays to be full of cheer

Now I will play with my pup for hours of fun
But the day will not be done
Without a little ice cream after hours of playing in the sun!

A nice take on the contest Emily, but you need to remember that names are not allowed on contest entries. I placed you this time, but next time it will not place and many not place in other contests.. Congratulations on your placement..

Love the imagery in this poem. Welcome to PoetrySoup, Emily. The more you read other poets and interact the more you will grow yourself and your poetry will become even better and better. I noticed your name was printed on top, just reminding you that if you submitted it like that in the contest, your poem would have been disqualified automatically: no names!!

So cute, Emily! I especially liked the first and last stanzas: Enjoy that ice cream!! (Is there any pleasure greater than watching a kid eat ice cream?). Best wishes, Gershon Wolf
