Yesteryears School Days....

A Poem by Onlyme

Memories...

"
Yesteryears school days.
The strict headmistress
who ran the school.
And took no nonsense.

The school bully who was
an a*****e. And always in
trouble and get expelled
for a week at a time.
Then back again. Then gone
again.
The snogging young couples
every playtime
around the back of the portable
cabins they used as extra classrooms
kissing and canoodling in between
break.  

And the guy who was always
trying to lift up a girl skirt.

And Mr Smith the math teacher
ever girl at school
fancied.  Some girls where
are chatting about him.

As for the boys
Miss Pettigrew.
The art teacher she
was
was cute,
blond and had a great figure.

I remember the school dinner ladies.
In the winter they let us hang out
in the canteen. And help and gave
us a piece of cake as a treat for helping
them. Lay the teachers place settings for
lunch.

Forgot all the boring things like exams
and stuff. The other stuff was more
interesting. On reflection now. Laughs.

What a different school we went to
Boys and girls has separate play grounds
We shared class rooms; with a four foot wide gangway between - No sneaking secret messages to the girls (or back)

No Mr Smith except the woodwork teacher
No Miss Pettigrew
We did have Misss Deasy approaching retirement She read us stories Even the school bully loved her
Her intended was killed in the war

its universal ... we all have memories of those younger days in school. We spent a great deal of our lives there. Your title easily caught my attention. The overall "form" of your poem also appeals to me aesthetically ..i really do prefer free verse and all the ways we can use it to emphasize our theme. Your last 4 verses looks like and aside to me; because of the change in font and size. That's just my impression, however the text does not support the change in my opinion ... perhaps switching your narrators voice or change the perspective to a character ... like Mrs. Pettigrew or Mr. Smith ...I grew up in a Catholic School we didn't fall in love with the nuns nor priests but we sure were terrified of "Mother Superior" ;) for me the rhythm is choppy because of grammar and syntax ... I love the story telling quality and the universal appeal ...thanks for tweaking me own school day memories :))

Thank you Eve.
I like this Dee. It's great to look back. I've been a teacher so I've seen it from the other side too. You have observed it all very well.
Regards.
