I can't find much to critique because of the length, I'm sorry. Try making it longer, maybe? Actually, for a subject like this, it can only be made so long...

Also! I think it would make it much better if it rhymed. For the type/ style of poem this is, rhyming would totally top it off. ;)

But I did see something here;
Ready to fill it with several Fs
Oh it sends chills down my spine


I feel you had a certain rhythm going up until this point. Try, maybe, putting less syllables in the first line, at least. And "Fs" needs to have an apostrophe between the F and the s.

I'm sorry this review is so short. The length made it hard to review. Good job though, I found it hilarious and able to relate with.

Hey Zakku!

First of all, a couple of technicalities:
:arrow: You need some punctuation! It doesn't have to be after every line and it doesn't have to be all commas or all periods, it can be (almost) anything you want. But for a poem like this, yep, punctuation.
:arrow: Myself is one word.

So. Omg. I think you're talking about one of my teachers...that is to say, I relate and I think this poem is hilarious and I loved it.

But like April said, perhaps you could elongate it a little? Because I want to feel everything, all the fright at the site of her face. I want to feel the dread during eighth period, as you're waiting for your next class. I want to feel the futile hope that you'll have a substitute. I want to feel the cold terror in the pit of your stomach when you see her face, that beaky nose, that evil cackle, etc, etc. I think you could actually do a lot with this if you took it really seriously and remodeled it accordingly.

That's just a suggestion though. ^^

Hey there Zakku! June here!

(I haven't reviewed anything of yours in ages, no joke)

The Ninth Period Bell has just rung

I do not feel the urge to run


I love this beginning. It's very calm and bored-sounding. It's not boring, but it sounds like someone who is bored.

I would put an apostrophe between the F and the s here, dear.

So, I like the fact that this carried a consistent rhyme. I don't know why, but most of the poems about school rhyme -- which I enjoy immensely. I like how this carried on with the same dreadful feeling you began with. Very nice job on that, dear. :)

You had a consistent rhyme until one of the last lines. :P I think it fits, but it's kind of a throw-off, since we're used to the rhythm by then.

On the whole a very nice, amusing poem. Well done!
