History Class
a boy was sitting in the back
of a gloomy history class
the teacher droned on about something called
Paleolithic Era
he thought it’s dull
and then wandered off with his imagination
back to when cavemen thrive
he imagined them hunting
hidden in the tall rigid grass
giving the signal
they closed in
alerted by the sound the deer tried to run
but in a flash he is surrounded
streaks of light pierced in the classroom
the boy heard the teacher saying
cavemen have families that they hold
they painted life on the cave walls
wait what! the boy thought
cavemen?!
the boy’s mind rushed back to class
he realized this is what he was dreaming
the “Paleolithic” Era is a fancy word for caveman times
he will not let his mind wonder
ever again
vocaroo:
Good use of imagery with the deer
ReplyDeleteI really like how you express how you feel about your history class through poetry.
ReplyDeleteYou used effective imagery with streaks of light and flashes. You also create a nice image of the hunting.
ReplyDeleteI like how you all of the sudden snap back into your history class after having a dream about history.
