My Primary School Life… Viewed from the perspective of Poems
A good experience of my school life then was writing poetry. I was often in solitude as I did not have any friends then. Boredom struck me and I decided to start writing poetry. Whenever I had experienced unique occasions in my Primary school days, I penned it down in a poem. I was always seen writing them, during recess, silent reading, and even in Chinese class.
Once, my school leaked due to what I thought was Acid Rain. I went on to write a poem about it. What started as a first verse sparked interest in writing poetry in me and I went on to write more. It was very fun and exciting. My sarcastic classmate called the Acid Rain Poem completely meaningless, but my literature teacher seemed to like it.
Another incident I experienced was the “Mugging” incident. I had forgotten about a test the next day. I panicked upon finding about it but it was too late. I ended burning midnight oil and slept for only 2 hours! The test ended up being very easy and I realised that I should not have burned midnight oil for it! Again, I wrote a poem on it. Apart from the poem, I learnt to organise and plan and revise my work consistently.
Me and my friends occasionally did the “homework chain” in which we passed completed homework around and copied each other’s answers! I usually was the source of the chain, giving out answers to lazy people who never bothered to do their homework. Our teacher caught us doing that once during silent reading. Next we got a really bad scolding. That was the only incident I did not write a poem about.
