Poetry On Odyssey: Creatures

A group of creatures caught in a misdemeanor.

I still remember that one day

That was nearing the end of eighth grade.

A happy moment for all of us

Until the truth came upon us.


I was enjoying myself until someone

Got my attention and told me to come.

She was sitting with another

Who was very familiar.


There we were sitting in the bleachers

Not knowing of the other creatures.

My friend had asked who are you going with?

I responded "no one," and I thought that was it.


But I noticed something about her

She looked troubled and started to blunder.

She asked if I knew anything about the other creatures.

I said "no," after all, what is there to wonder?


And at that moment I figured it out,

As their attempt to hide was feeble.

The horrible truth came out of her mouth,

The other creatures had done evil.


Hatred swooped upon me and I knew they had shunted.

But that's not all.

They had been confronted,

And were stumbling to their fall.


The other with us had later joined the other side,

And she made a terrible mistake.

One more of us who had joined us with pride,

Led herself into that dangerous lake.


So now it was two lost fools finding their way to the creatures.

Who had gathered together,

To go out and about,

Hunting for another.


While the two wisest of us were angels,

And we discovered many new experiences,

On our trip together,

Isolated from the creatures.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
