Latin IV

Latin IV

A Poem by Not Afraid of Bruises

Note that the image for this is totally random...Wrote this as part of a creative writing assignment - hope the images came out well.

The room tastes of chalk and coffee in mugs, quickly
hidden under desks whenever a teacher wanders by the door.
 
Lost in here, desks gather haphazard into groups
and students procrastinate and divide paragraphs for work
they will never complete.
 
Buried in piles covered by voices,
Green Eggs and Ham in Latin blares out silently as the
Blackboard becomes a wall meant for
Learning, artwork and creativity.
 
One set of evil eyes with a grinning mouth
And good-natured smile encourages the work, the chatter
As eleven students linger in their words, drag out the moments
until work will half to begin again.
 
Once a student now the wall fly observes the world it left behind
When times were hard and ease came at a graded price.

In general frame... nice...
And a little note from a friend, try to improve it... specially from the grammar-side...
But it's still nice... it makes the reader to recall some memories of past sensory experience that he had before...

Good Job... hope to see it revised...

Need some grammar work of course, but other than that, I love the imagery and references you make in this peice!! You have a lot of things in play and I like how all the differences between them all still work together...
I'd love to see this further developed and improved upon! Keep up the really great work with this one!!
