Poem Second Semester

Hi everyone this is my first post. This post is a poem I wrote for English about being a second semester senior. In this poem I list a number of rules for seniors to follow in order for them to enjoy their second semester. I based my poem on the poem Girl by Jamaica Kincaid where Kincaid writes a poem in the voice of a mother to a young girl. The mother is giving the girl advice on how to be a mother when she grows up.

Second Semester Senior

Sleep in every day; don’t go to school on time; when you get to school make sure you have no pencils, notebooks, or any other materials; cut as many classes as you can; if you go to class go to the bathroom as soon as possible and don’t go back; walk around the hallways; go out to lunch far away; skip the class after lunch; never bring your clothes to gym; sleep during class; don’t pay attention to any of your teachers; never hand in any assignments on time; go out and party on school nights; when the weather gets nice skip school and go to the beach; have fun with your friends on the weekends; play games on your laptop all day; leave all of your classes early; don’t study for any of your tests; you’re all ready into college, have fun;  this is how you listen to music during class; this is how you text so the teacher can’t see; this is how you speak on the phone so nobody can see; this is how you play computer games while making it appear that you’re on task; pass notes during class; get ready to choose your college; flirt with every girl; you’re never going to see anyone again; live in the moment; have as much fun as possible; remember this is your last year of high school; be friends with everyone; don’t worry if you weren’t before; get ready for prom; get ready for graduation; look forward to your last summer as a kid; have as much fun as possible; stop doing what you are doing now and be spontaneous; go on adventures; end late nights at the diner hanging out with your friends; remember if nothing is going on the night is still young; enjoy being at the head of the school; you’ll be the youngest again next year; go to all the school’s sports games; slack off in school; if you’re doing Mr. Saxon’s poem for homework stop now and party you’re a second semester senior; I’m going on an adventure now!
