Best Finals Poems

I wish to
Relay
To all of my people the importance of sticking together as a 
team

And that
Because we have run 
through the preliminary trials as selfish individual, goal seekers
we have barely made it to the finals, 
as if,
 winning our, “Race”
is undoable or un-triable

Have all but...

NBA Finals Prayer

Lord, blesseth thine Warriors
And treateth not thine Fans 
with a such a Cavalier attitude.

Thy restoreth our soles.
Thy quickeneth and brusheth off our feet of Klay. 
Thy maketh passes down for Green fast breaks.

Yea, though we've walked through
the Valley of Lebron,
we shall fear no...

speech and debate team members
competed every week
new schools, new judges, input sought

national finals at Niagara University
eleven hundred contestants 
vying for trophies worth their weight in gold

mix up the meter, don't stress the rhyme
select a "poem" that would be unique
then give it your own tweak

Finals suck yes its true, finals suck, it makes me blue.
Finals are not fun you’ll see, for everyone is full of plea.
Finals are required, but why?
The state wants to see how we have improved in our knowledge
Finals make everyone want to die.
Once finals are done,...

Brezsny in quotes:

"Bestow a blessing on a person you've considered to be beneath you
or alien to you."

Donald, may your future communications involve both deeper listening
and comprehensively ecological learning
about our cooperative potential as individually evolving parents,
and as group, or even international, health administrators,
facilitators of and for...

Finals Result

A month before,
Begins the tension,
Something you would like to,
Give a detention.

Of being grounded for a month,
Is perhaps the fear,
Or getting a spanking,
And shedding many tears.

Or perhaps it’s competition just plain,
Or fear of falling behind the class,
The probabilities are clear,
More clearer than glass....

Stars could see forever 
Thinking never 
An avalanche would pull the lever 
Feeling a mile high 
This movie was going to be a nice try 
Not caring about anyone’s lie 
Then there was the heated sun 
Melted snow weighing a ton 
Fear should have won...

A stalking moon comes
riding
on mount of silver
     and
     blue
     metallic
shimmering
     beckoning
shadows colliding
with
      imagined imaginings
and
      impassioned words
spoken to

Cheers of excitement roar from up ahead.
Our sounds of warm-up drift through the air.
Just even that part gets our adrenaline pumping.
We start to walk perfectly in step.
The clicks, the crowd, and the sound of blood pumping to our hearts are all you 
can hear within...

I should be writing another paper
I should have turned this in on time
I need to study for a test
I need register for class

My head is throbbing in my skull
My eyes drooping, after last night
My heart is aching for stimulation
My mind is drained, they’ve sucked me...

Final exams start Thursday,
and it’s giving us all the feels.

Finals have a gravity of their own.
Are the papers worse than exams? Maybe.
The tension can be relentless and heavy.
“It’s finals week, see you on the other side.”

As for me, I’m almost packed up.
Time is an odd...

(a silly series of Senryus)

It’s time to cram for
final exams, again, so
here we go, mug up.

My mind, coffee dark,
drifts in academic dreams,
—think roiling oceans.

A ‘mandatory’
society meeting? You’re
not the boss of me.

I’ll shun or eschew,
if I want too, sidestepping,
like a tap dancer.

I'm not lazy - I'm
high...

Winter tested my endurance with its sharp and burning cold and now the warm lavender evening, with its smells and sounds of spring seem like a gift. The breeze is warm, and even the broad zones of shadow contain an inviting warmth. The campus lamps...
