Shirley,
Congrats on winning the Off and On rhyme Contest. This is a creative and apropos entry with the theme of teacher instructing her students in learning to write poetry. The last line perfectly expresses the one students exasperation in not completing the task.
All the best,
Eugene

Aw, thank you Eugene. It was a close run contest. I thought we were going to tie! Your poem was certainly worthy of winning. Thank you so much for the six. I sincerely appreciate it :)

Congratulations Shirley! Another win, I'm impressed! This skilfully fulfils the 'off and on rhyme' prompt with some lovely, imaginative dialogue between teacher and student, complete with humorous conclusion. A pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing. Debbie xx

I laughed at the image you described, because I remember those days (eons ago) and my inability to fill a page with a single word. Nicely done.
Good luck in the contest.

Your poem, Poet, reminds me of when I taught and asked my students to write an impromptu in-class poem. Sometimes I was pleasantly surprised; too often I received blank pages. I like how your poem is written from the student's POV. Great ending! Rod
