Finals Poems - Poems about Finals

(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 tech and in energy saving mode now. It’s a pointed and conscious decision—I’ll...

I’m just twirling in the center of my room. I’ve got way too much to do. Has that ever happened to you? I’m assailed, derailed and impaled by indecision. I can’t find my lucky pencil and I have a final in 90 minutes I have lab results to qualify and I’ve a term paper to finish. I have two problem-sets due...

The school year’s ending. ‘Spring Fling’ is tonight (Saturday) the biggest event (concert) of the year, and next week - final exams. It’s hard to believe that I’ll be a senior in about 2 weeks - when the chips are counted, and junior year is cashed out. I can remember sitting in my little covid-prison...

Fear not, doubt's dark whispers, embrace the testing ground. We face the same old existential dreads - the unexpected twist, the vague essay prompt. Genial birdsong mocked our anxious morning and squirrels still scampered unconcerned. “You’re a beautiful bundle of stress,” I assured Lisa this morning as I handed her her water bottle. ...

In crowded halls, ivy clad, walk the sleepless zombies - the walking dead. They’ve come to grapple, the chosen few, in trials by pen and pencil too. Long ago we quietly agreed to trade studies and stress for a lives of ease. The fire of competition burns within, a pyre fueled by challenge and adrenaline. We’ve been grinding from...

study period It’s December and my roommates and I are deeply into Christmas. We’ve got a little 3ft tall Christmas tree with about fifty-thousand little multicolor LED lights on it (LEDs because we ARE saving the planet). We’re in the ‘study period’ right before finals and It’s a lowkey Saturday night. Lisa and I were pajama’d and...

I traveled almost everywhere, growing up. It took years. The landscapes, flora and fauna, the art, music, cuisines and curse words all seem to blend together in my mind. Mount Fuji, the Rhine, the Himalayas, the Chattahoochee, Shenzhen, Washington DC, the Alps, and Appalachians, Moscow, Beijing, Dublin, Portland, Paris, Atlanta, London, St. Petersburg, Tokyo, Rome, Wuhan,...

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 and unpredictable beast. It’s hard to believe that in two weeks,...

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 should ignite soon but groups of students are milling, talking...

simply awake No music lulls No quiet snoozes No counting naps No stretching tires My clock taunts me No comfort lullabies No breathing relaxes Pajamas strangle me No coolness soothes No meditation stupors No visualization sleeps No position tranquilizes No supplements sedate No aromatherapy calms or finger painting slumbers I am insomnia’s vigilant sentry. Where, oh where's the sandman?...

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 But stars thought the drama was fun Soon another one...

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 silenced the roaring power we gain from our people united...
