Procrastinatorism

In Poetry

Rushing as fast as I can...
But will I be on time?
Will my grade end up in the can,
Or will I make it and be fine?

I worked so hard, to have it lost
would be disastrous, I'm not kidding!
But I will get it in, doubt me not...
My vision of success was far from fitting.
Darn.

I love it because I can totally relate to it. But, somehow I feel like the rhyme in the first stanza is a little forced and the flow in the second was lost because the words had more syllables than those in the first stanza. This is just my opinion though. I still like it because of what the poem actually means especially to students out there.

Will my grade end up in the can, The rhyme is off 'cause you used the same word, granted that they have different meanings.
Or will I make it and be fine? Fine here seems too plain it's as if writing this was rushed.

- I like this whole stanza although I feel like the flow is off.

Happy writing! :)

I think this is a great idea and a good poem, but it could be better.

Will my grade end up in the can, You can't really rhyme can with can, I get the double meaning but it sounds too forced and repetitive
Or will I make it and be fine? Again, this rhyme sounds a bit too forced

This doesn't really flow, it works but not 100%...more like 80%
But I will get it in, doubt me not...

Darn. I don't much understand the point of this....??

Hahahaha awesome.

Or will I make it and shine?

Ok, cliche. :P That aside, I think you should remove the and--I get what you're trying to do/say/convey, but the and seems a bit unnecessary to me.

"Flitting" should probably be "fleeting."

I'm pretty sure everyone who has been in school at all could relate to this. :P



All hail the mighty Glow Cloud.
