First Day At School - # 18

Pretentious

Sublime and expectant

Walks she, into

Kindergarten

Head held high

Mommy’s - words

Braving in strangeness

Smiling in confidence

Embracing the learning

First day at

School

At day first

Learning the embracing

Confidence in smiling

Strangeness in braving

Words - mommy's

High held head

Kindergarten -

Into, she walks

Expectant and Sublime

Pretentious.

PS: And now our (as always, optional) prompt! Today’s prompt comes to us from Cathy Evans, who challenges us to write a poem that begins and ends with the same word. You could try for something in media res, that begins and ends with “and,” for example. Or maybe “if.” Or perhaps you could really challenge yourself and begin/end your poem with a six-dollar word like “antidisestablishmentarianism.” (Just kidding!) Whatever word you choose, I hope you have fun with it!
