The First Day of School

I'm a nervous wreck

A breakdown in the engine

I don't know what to do

for soon I'll get stingy

Only 5 minutes left

I have to get ready

but wait--my heads here

along with my pen, ever so steady

Ring, ring

There goes the bell

what will this year bring

Will I crack open my shell?

My teacher is nice

now how bout the students

do I know them-yes

There's Deseree Pudent

Wow that went swell!

Like it was in the 60s

I cracked my eggshell

One piece at a time

The only thing left

is to come clean and tell

my mom of my day

how I cracked my own shell

Next time remember

don't be so nervous

for all it causes

is worry and fear

A contest entry

Please tell me what you think

    We all get the first day of school jitters - reading this reminded me of a MUCH younger version of myself. But we all go through that so lighten up - it might not be as bad as you think; you might even enjoy it!

    This was a nice poem. I like the incorporated metaphor of the 60s.
