One Single Impression: Murmur
The Children Murmur
The children are murmuringit is the first day of school
the new teacher is real mean
we've heard she spanks with a rule
The children are murmuring
the school lunches are not good
our parents don't seem to care
if they ate them then they would
The children are murmuring
our P.E. coach makes us run
and recesses are too short
how can we have any fun
The children are murmuring
the teacher had brought a sack
she's opening it now--you think
every day might bring a snack
The children are murmuring
the bell is so very loud
we'll see how tomorrow goes
no words for our parents now

School was, at times, tough as a child, at least from a child's perspective -- great piece...
...rob
Here is my murmur...
I remember those school days.
The trials and tribulations of being a kid in school. Your poem captures it perfectly Jim. I can remember being on a stage in "the play" just as your picture depicts.
Wow, Jim! That was fun. Murmering! If only...
oh this was a lovely image that u drew up Jim :) thank u!
Sure took me back to my school days. Which is a pretty long trip.
Jim, I recall those days very well :)
Always fun and meaningful posts. Thanks so much! I thoroughly enjoyed this.
you took me back to the school days and the mumurs among us when we were kids! Nice piece.
Thank you for leaving the link.
oh...those children...you know them well Jim...!
For some, school only teaches how to live for the weekend.
This brought back some vivid memories...I enjoyed your take on this prompt!
Reminds me of my life as a student Jim...
I was naughty then, but an achiever so more often than not, I am always spared of any punishment from teachers, I pity those classmates who would have a good reprimand and would thereafter murmur against our teacher!
I enjoyed this one Jim! Visit my murmur, too!
so many memories of school, thanks for the murmuring memories Jim.
Yes, Jim, you took us back in time, what a great little train ride!
Oh, so true. I rather doubt things have changed much - you think? Nice poem that speaks to a childhood memory.
well penned from a child's perspective. it was long ago, but your poem took me back.
Hmmm...the TEACHERS are murmuring too...and it's NOT pretty! LOL! And the school lunches are still the school lunches- altho our Lunch Lady serves up a mean grilled cheese (it's to die for) and some other goodies too!
