SampleВ poem
At aВ lesson (aВ joke)
She was watching them carefully —
They were yawning lazily,
She asked them a question angrily —
They looked away nervously…
They were talking toВ each other loudly,
She tried to stop them desperately…
They were sitting quietly,
She laughed hysterically…
Some ofВ them were sleeping peacefully,
Others were using their phones carelessly…
She sighed and gazed at them lovingly,
She started again patiently…
InВ the end, they smiled at her warmly,
So, the lesson ended happily.
Some helpful ideas: It seems toВ be aВ nice idea toВ award aВ little prize toВ the best poet ofВ the group.
