Back to School: A Poem
A flag unfurled at this house on West Liberty Street salutes the fact that today (Sept. 8, 2009) is the first day of school. (Photo by The Chronicle.)
Editor’s note: The poets are sixth-graders at the Rudolf Steiner School of Ann Arbor.
I looked up at the clock, it read:
10 a.m. I’m still in bed!
The Sun streamed through the window pane,
I smile, summer’s here again!
Those summer days, so long so sweet
were filled with fun and dirty feet.
But now I have to go to school,
My freedom ripped away, how cruel!
My kids (one especially always has a VERY difficult time transitioning from summer to school) loved the poem!
