First Day

by goddess-glamourpuss   Jul 22, 2006


The day has dawned at last.
Butterflies merrily flutter inside.
Respiration shallow and quick
Butter fingers grasp at clothes.

I must look the part.
Presentation is critical.
First impressions count.
All eyes on me.

With heart in mouth I arrive.
What if the kids don't like me?
How will I remember all the names?
Will the teachers be kid?

Grab the bull by the horns.
No more excuses.
Head high, shoulders back
One foot before the other.

As I take my place in assembly
Surveying the scene before me
My first day won't be so bad
As the new headmaster.

    To me I guess the funny thing was supposed to be irony funny. I liked how it made the headmaster seem like a kid at first.

    Amazing poem.. When I first started reading I thought it was about a new student, I know thats probably what you were hoping for. This poem showed me that everyone gets nervous for something new no matter who they are. Way to go, yet again.
