This poem made me laugh. I could picture the kid going to school like that and the teacher saying what's that on your head, and the kid grinning and saying a hat, miss lol. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing. Have a great day.

Sounds like burn out. Summer vacation can't come soon enough. You set my day on a positive note with your wonderful presentation. Your poem is relatable to all ages. Good luck in the contest.

All kids go through a period when - learning's getting bothersome! For some it lasts forever. For others not as long and they rejuvenate and get back to studying.
I'm glad your note clarified the possum issue, because I also was unsure of the photo.
Cheers. John

I love the photo you use (although I have absolutely no idea what a snapchat filter is), but I especially like the full set of line-end rhymes - neat. kay

Comment from Aussie
I liked your poem. Typical children, would rather play with a possum instead of listening to boring lessons. We have many possums in Oz, usually take up residence in the crawl space. They can be vicious. Not an animal for a child.

Hi K, I've heard about the possum being mean. This was a picture of my grandson but that possum, I'm sure you read in my authors notes, was just a little picture trickery by an app called Snapchat. Do you really live at a place called Oz? You always have such a great sense of humor so wasn't sure!
I can't thank you enough for your kind comments regarding this silly poem. Much appreciated my dear friend!

Yes, Oz is short for Australia (which is a white mouthful.)

Lol, I try to learn something new everyday, so thanks for my lesson for today, K!

You have a smooth flow of rhyming words that captures the feel of school being blah this time of year. I like your last line "brain playing possum'. It sums up the first two lines. Excellent 5-7-5 poem that captures a clear feeling.

Comment from dragonpoet
This is a witty mono-rhyme poem which tells of the time when school starts getting mundane. Playing possum is a good metaphor for the brain taking a rest from school work without really planning to.
Great artwork.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

This was a new delightful read. I enjoyed their use of the roaming of awesome. Bothersome and possum. Keep riding and keep your sense of humor. I can just see a little boy in school feeling this way. Patricia.

School is not fun; at least, I didn't have fun in school. There are so many things you need to learn in the world, and school does not teach you even half of what you need to know to survive.
