1. TANKA
•
°•°
After school finds Ms. Hermione Feinstein correcting papers from today's poetry assignment. Just in case you were sleeping in her class, I took some notes for you:
The oldest surviving form of Japanese poetry, a Tanka poem consists of five lines, the first and third having five syllables and the others possessing seven.
You were asleep, weren't you? Knew I heard you snoring away in the back ... tell you what, to get you back in Ms. Feinstein's good graces, you could finish grading the stack of poems before her so she could head out for a cup of coffee in teacher's lounge. She'd be so grateful.
Concern For My Heart
By Via
•
Forever unnoticed,
Desiring companionship;
Eyes meet, but not hearts;
Searching for love, finding a void;
Will despair compromise my soul?

SUCKERS ©Pim Diffy

Money filling pockets
Mine, ha! Not theirs. Mine! SUCKERS!
Folding kind, no small change;
One born every minute;
All sales are final, SUCKERS!
Remember to tip me big!

Class

I have it; you don't;
Some are born with it; you weren't;
Mirror on the wall
Who's the fairest in the land?
Candida Keagle; not you.

•
She's the one for me,
Hair like a blonde waterfall,
Shimmering blue eyes,
Scheming, Calculating, Ruthless.
In a word, Perfect.

Masks

•
Who are you, phony?
Pretending to like me for me.
Color of my eyes?
Too hard a question for you.
Genuine love, come to me!

i'm here
by (Silent) Judy
•
Be seen and not heard,
My parents call me "Good Judy,"
but others ignore me.
Maybe it is better friends
think me a fool than open
my mouth and remove all doubt.

Oh, how I love thee, blowtorch,
the pranks we pull off,
Ninja-like, special ops rules!
Still, it's lonely at the top ...

Listen to my so cool lines,
Elegant simplicity.
Yet she picks Mikey.
It just doesn't add up, friend,
Why won't Tia fall for me?

Not In Face!

I say, "Not In FACE!"
Strange new land, America,
"Want me to stop now?"
Internal bleeding, of course!
New word I learn today, "YES!"

Go Away!

Ask me later, Pim, okay?

Jocks have a bad rep.
Just because cheerleaders leer,
as we scratch our crotch,
yes, we harassed nerds today,
but we're really just great guys.

Bossy

I love strong women.
Tall or short, big or skinny,
Do they have a spine?
What matters is their backbone.
Adding the sweetness of spice.

How Dare He!

Break my heart, will he?
I will so get him for that!
He'll wish for quick death!
But that's too good for the jerk!
His "Philly-Willy" will be gone!

It Wasn't Me
Kyle Speckle

I didn't do it.
For once I was innocent.
No one believes me.
So this is what it feels like,
to be the butt of a prank.
