Short Classmates Poems

They are, at most, held
back from their advanced classmates,
later, they advance.

Why do I appear to be scatterbrained? I don’t know why… 
How do I change the way
I appear towards my classmates? I just can’t find the answer… ...

There once was a bully named Mean.
I am kidding, his name was McQueen.
He took classmates’ lunches,
And slapped them in bunches,
Until he was fined by the queen....

Happy birthday, Aga Briones, 
High school classmates love vacation; 
Many of them just reminisce 
With old friends at the reunion.

His pants were quite dry when he got 'em

His classmates just laughed when they caught him

A wet widening stain

And it sure wasn't rain

Now it's way too easy to spot him

There once was a tattle-tail named Clue.
Told on all of his classmates but two.
Big Fred never got told on,
Neither did a girl named Dawn.
His class would have traded him for glue....

I hate being awake

“Teacher, teacher, do farts have lumps?”
“No Billy, you've evacuated twice this month!”
“Go stand in the corner
Since you are the owner”
His face turned red, classmates were stunned...

I open their ketchup pouches.
I open their milks.
I open their napkins
Until the mama girls make themselves known.
Then they do all the opening for the tables.
Amazing their kindergarten classmates....

His classmates fled, and rejected his embrace
So Harry ran to his mommy, at a fast pace
"They called me a wolf!" he cried
"That's just silly," she replied,
"It's time for dinner, so go comb your face"...

The child smells
Like cat urine only ten times worse
His classmates shun him
He reeks
A police officer arrives for career day
And recognizes the smell
It is not cat urine
It is methamphetamine
This changes everything...

FRAMED FOR FAME

There once was a boy — His father was “Blue.”
Classmates hated him, down the stairs he flew.
Billy Moon with his girlie hair.
He really missed his teddy bear.
Christopher Robin — no soul ever knew.

Class clown
Attention
Keeps class laughing
The smoke and mirror expert
Conquers

Class clown
In fine form
Spins his classmates
So they don’t know that he
Can’t read

Class clown
Happiness
Demonstrated
A big giant pretense
Class clown...

For a little piece of green clay,
he always had something to say.
My classmates used to watch him before school.
They thought he and pony pal Pokey were cool.
Kids thought of them as a sensation.
They were the products of imaginative animation.

Gone,
faces 
of my youth,
my family,
my friends and classmates
all of them have gone on.
Some early and some later.
None left to share my memories.
The world is a very lonely place.
I am the last of my generation.

TCD     GRADUATION



Cobblestone, campanile,
Mortar boards, smiles,  laughter,
Library, pigeon, tassel,
Friends,  classmates,  tea after.

At church, young niece asked me in a blink

What mating meant with a curious wink

    “It's a  bird-and-bee's dream

      For girls who reach  sixteen”

Pined she,” that’s not what my classmates think”

tradition-drenched halls
    ivy-covered walls
  dearest alma mater
    why'd you flatter
  me with this sham degree
  I've no skills, no connections
    my classmates take their meals
  in the house of corrections...

  you took my money, awakened false hopes
    hooked me on oxycontin, a pill-popping dope...

Early in the summer
my classmates and I gathered outside
for a rededication ceremony.
A priest blessed a new bench
and we promised we would
find and replace a memorial stone

while 

a younger class
who embraced their youth
shouted and laughed
running in and out
of the high school—
theirs for the weekend.

An astute and oh so,
Special and likeable young lady. She’s
Helpful to her classmates and is a
Loyal friend to her teammates. She is a born
Entertainer. Indeed we’ll miss all of your
Inspiration and movement with such
Grace. You’re moving on from green and gold.
Hats off to you Ashleigh, an awesomely astute princess!...

She told her classmates
Every single one of them
But they did not come forward
Not a one of them

So at noon during recess
She made her way to the roof
And threw herself off
In front of every single one of them

They were shocked
Traumatized for years
Had nightmares the rest of their life
Every single one of them...

She did not have a name.
No one knew it anyway
Or cared to know it
She looked weird

That was enough for her classmates
They did not invite her to play dates
She did not talk or laugh
She was not fun to be around

She had fits sometimes
Screaming and yelling
The teacher’s face confirmed her weirdness
Let’s call her Little Miss Nobody...

Today you do not need to
Write the world’s best poem
Paint the world’s most interesting canvas
Out-dance your classmates

Today you do not need to
Impress others with lunch notes to your children
Cut their sandwiches into four-leaf clovers
Find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

All you have to do is survive
That is enough
For today...

One last look over my shoulder. As the double doors close one last goodbye to 
the teachers. As I start my car and go. One last handshake to Mr. Davis. As my 
name is called aloud one sweet tear down my cheek. As I make it out alive. One 
fairwell to all my classmates, as I enter the real world. One goobye to my past 
me. Because now I'm a college girl....

Christopher Black: with his big back-pack.
Liam Short; ironically he was.
Aiden Craven: his names almost matched
Simon Pal - and he was a pal!
Stuart Grove; didn't know him much
Matthew Huss; he sat on the opposite side to us
Adam Ponder, who used to wonder,
Terry King, the class-clown
Eddy Wilkinson, the deputy clown 
Should all be friends for life......
