A Back To School Poem
By: Karen Cignatta Patton
The summer's end is nearing
and the weather's turning cool;
It's time to hit the books again
and head on back to school.
Brand new clothes adorn me
to mark this special day;
Pencils and a notebook
are neatly tucked away.
Yet I am rather nervous
as I travel up the path;
Will I still know my History,
my Spelling, and my Math?
Feelings of anxiety
now fill me head to toe;
I hope to see my closest friends,
as I have missed them so.
Smiling teachers greet me;
A classmate warmly calls;
Familiar sounds of laughter are heard within the halls.
My empty chair awaits me
as I contemplate and grin;
Eager and excited for the school year to begin.
