Today was unique
One student was discouraged
High school is no fun

One came determined
Ready to work on his tasks
Not one distraction

Another came late
His bar mitzvah party soon
He needed speech help

The last student came
Eager to learn some grammar
His test tomorrow

Independent clause
Adverb and adjective, too
What, when, where and whom

I had to study
I don’t recall these details
But now I’m aware.

My eyes are closing
A long, long day of details
And more tomorrow

Where are those Spring days
With not one care in the world?
Let me search for them
