A Poem from Beneath the Post-It Notes ...

I'm not even a week into my exams yet, and I'm already writing poetry about them.

Has anyone seen my medication?

Exam

Pencil, paper,
Calculator,
Doubts a’lurking,
Teacher smirking,
Outside raining,
Brain is aching,
Fingers cramping,
Doors a’slamming,
Throat is thirsting
Bladder bursting,
Time a’snailing
Thoughts a’wailing
Hands are burning
Mind a’churning,
Panic building,
Answers milling,
Time is up now,
Students,
Stop!
