Creature

by Jessica Reed   Feb 7, 2005


It appeared inside the classroom
at a quarter after ten,
it gobbled up the white board,
three erasers and a pen.
It gobbled teacher's apple
and it hit her with the core.
"How could you!" she responded.
"You must leave us there's the door."
He didn't listen
but described an arabesque
as it gobbled all her pencils,
seven notebooks on her desk.
Teacher stated very calmly,
"Sir! You simply cannot stay,
I'll report you to the principal
unless you go away!"
But it continued eating,
it ate paper, swallowed ink,
as it gobbled up our homework
I believe I saw it wink.
Teacher finally lost her temper.
"Out!" she shouted.
The creature hopped beside her
and GLOP...it ate teacher.

    Great poem! I know it's hard to end a poem, but I really think the ending should be drastically changed so as not to break the flow that has been so firmly established in the first 9/10ths of the poem, which, as I said, are really good!
