The Bell Rings

2.30 – 3.30pm, slice of my day

It's almost time                                                                                                                             Another dime
When school's over                                                                                                                    it feels like a makeover
until other meetings start                                                                                         making you feel ultrasmart
with hands dipped in                                                                                                           you show you have a thick skin
only to feel                                                                                                                                     it is another deal!

    Juliette, I enjoyed reading your after school thoughts! The rhyming is fun. I loved the transition between

    “it feels like a makeover” (momentary relief and a little celebration) and then…

    “until other meetings start”

    Fun poem!

    What a fun rhyming ditty of your after school relief, reset, then move on to the next meeting. The job is never really done.
