They are yellow where ever they are are taught in the western world, I can remember when in the US, seeing a massive holding place where the yellow busses slept when off duty, beautifully written Jessica, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Very amusing 3 line poem, Jessica. This gallant hero in his big yellow bus, picking up all the children just eager to get back to school. I would have been the one at the end of the line, that's for sure. Well done,
cheers,
valda

It is always a pleasure in appearance life to be able to put their children on the school bus to take them to school each day. I remember the time but it's been so many years ago. That is almost a thing and it is distant past. Patricia.

Sounds like the bus driver who willingly put up with all the screaming and hollowing of the children on the bus.
The children are sweet, they are just making noise.
You have the right amount of syllables for each line.
Your picture, colors and font are nice and good luck with your poem.

"The Unsung Hero of September" Who, Ms. Autumn?
"One Stop at a Time" Then when will we ever get there?
"At last, he appears!" Pff, after forever.
"Gallant hero riding forth" Pff, no hero if he's late. I'm suing the bus company--and the school.
Good luck in the contest.

I do understand. Children get ready for school. To them, summers seem so long. To me, summers go by very fast. I don't understand how that happens. Thank you for sharing this entry with us and good luck with the contest.

I got a kick out of this poem and the author's notes. You got the syllable counts right, and the poem itself was hilarious. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Yes, those days are here. My daughter called me after taking her 16-year-old to the bus stop. She was starting a new school. Everything went well until a bus approached (it ended up not being hers), but several other teenagers got out of the cars and joined together. My granddaughter looked at her mom and said, "You can go now!" In other words, you are dismissed before you embarrass me.
Smiles, Carol

Not long to go, Jess, and that gallant hero will sweep them off with their little bags and lunch packs! A lovely little story of joyful release captured in your three liner. Good luck! Debbie

chuckling. I can, because I'm a grandmother and those days are over.
That definitely deserves a 6!
too funny. Mom breathes an exhausted sigh.
Respite until 3:30 (or whatever time the little darlings get out.
Cute, and I'm sure, appreciated by all your reader moms.
