Here's a collection of poems centered on all things after school. Read a few for this Poetry Friday!
Escape
Out of the prison gates I slip,
I zig and zag, I dodge and dip,
Through the dark forest of towering trees,
Leaving no trail for my enemies.
Across the wild river on a narrow log,
Past the castle with the howling wolf-dog,
One last mad dash! I got home okay!
Good thing that my school is just three blocks away.
After the Bell Rings, Poems About After-School Time
