I thought of this in like two minutes, so it is.. well, I don't care. (lol)


The old carving on my school desk, is imprinting in my arm,
It says "Your Dead" but it does no harm.
My eyes are closing, a whole new world to see,
Purple skies, orange grass, and the voice of Mr. D.
A tap on my shoulder, I wake up startled to see,
My Seventh grade math teacher, Mr. Donnely.
"You've drifted away from my math class,
stay awake or you'll never pass!"
I sigh, but don't give him any sass,
Social Studies is a great opportunity,
to go back to the world with purple skies and orange grass.

Tis a great concept...but it lacks a great rhyming pattern.

1.The old carving on my school desk, is imprinting in my arm,
It says "Your Dead" but it does no harm.

*Funny line. The second part isn't really long enough to flow right with the first though, so it reads awkward. Try making it a bit longer?

2.You've drifted away from my math class,
stay awake or you'll never pass!"
I sigh, but don't give him any sass,
Social Studies is a great opportunity,
to go back to the world with purple skies and orange grass.

*This whole ending sort of reads funny. I think it's because of the last couple of lines, they have the same rhyming pattern as the one before them and it takes me off guard. Try to add a little more variety.

Keep at it!

Russets and tangerine shades of old gold flushing the very outside edge of the senses ... deep shining ochres, burnt umber and parchments of baked earth—reflecting on itself and through itself, filtering the light.
