On the opposite page!

Fiction in the exam room.

Strange things happen

on the opposite page,

a screeching of the ink

from hurried thoughts,

weird knockings,

an anxious pen,

mysterious messages,

a tale on beautiful women,

the harbouring of a fugitive

on the run.

However, more suspense and mystery

lies on my page, blank,

in the exam room,

the mind still contemplating....

like a dead body,

an abandoned old house,

a ship drifting,

disappearing from view,

the burnt out car,

a pile of rubbish smouldering....in thoughts

the page, the story,

the write that was to become no more.

Was it an accidental death

or just murder?

T'was a cunning plot,

I left no clues,

only the examiner

left his mark.

oh man! this is one of your best sir! i especially enjoyed the added length compared to most of your other poems ... i was right there in the waiting room ..called in for examination and spun spectacularly with your closing ... a fine reading experience for me .. the metaphor of the pages is original and sparks me noodle to imaginations :)

you mean mine is not the only one???? [:-O

[andrew mitchell]

mine was in the classroom, exam time but yours is better lol

[Einstein Noodle]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh ..well ...now you have spilled the beans sir ... i saw the poet using time in the waiting room ... which is always a loooonnnnnnnnnnnnng time in the States .. but in taking a test ...that's a whole 'nother stress box ... oh how i disliked test taking .. from the 5th grade on i got worse and worse and worse at it .. no wonder i escaped to the pool hall or street corner ;}

[andrew mitchell]

your version is far more scarier lol

A clever writer intentionally leaves a lot to the readers' imagination. The problem with most people is they don't trust others to figure it out, saying more than they should.
