This poem has great energy. I remembered my own school days while reading this. You've described a kid's whole school day well in only 4 lines!

Great imagery, visuals and artistic presentation. I wish you luck in the contest.

I taught high-school English for nearly three decades, and I feel sure the
message in your creatively-composed four-liner ran daily through my students' minds. Good job! :-)

I enjoyed your shared memory for the contest, Seville. You did a great job. I like the image, the formatting of the words--the bold works well, and the approach to the contest. I could see everything you wrote. Thanks for the notes, too.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

-Nice image and presentation, Seville.
-Thanks for the notes.
-The syllable count is good, along with the topic.
-I like your approach to the poem with
description of the day and the sound devices
to show reactions to the various instructions,
especially the "YAY!"
-A good entry; good luck.

Kids still have recess, lol?! I thought that had gone out the door with music and art.
This is a great look back at your school days, and is probably true for children today - except it's now TIKTOK, lol!
Nice job on this 4-line poem.

Usually children like order as they know where they stand. My Grandson found it difficult to take instruction and wanted to disobey every rule of the school! I expect this is why they have strict rules. The command of the bell is evident in your write, love Dolly x

    Thank you, Dolly. My son started off the same way in the first 2 grades. Perhaps, it is something about boys. My daughter was the ambitious one. Thanks for reading, reviewing and sharing your experience.

    My Granddaughter is also studious, but boys can be a bit wild x x x

This is a very unconventional, striking poem that captures a lot of the emotions of going to school in just a few words. It combines beautifully with the picture to capture all the senses
And puts the reader in the moment of a school day in the life of a child. Well done!

    Thank you, Jane. I was uncertain how this piece might be received; however, it appears to be working. No one said it had to rhyme and I am glad for that. Thanks for your insight, observation and thoughtful review.

Ah school- yes, that sums it up pretty much. I work in a university in China where university is much more like high school and there students really divide their day up by breaks and meals.
Thanks for sharing this.
