The Bluestone Review

The Classroom Chatter Mason Monday

The Classroom Chatter The interruption in the room The one person making the sound The teachers face after The kid who did it Mostly me Out to the hallway where trouble starts The teachers stare when they come out to talk

Back in the room no more chatter Teacher got mad moved me over The last time made a chatter

The School Experience Kayleigh Dalton

Perfume covered hallways Floral and sweet This definitely has the classrooms beat Dusty books in the musky air Gum stuck to the bottom of my chair Pencils tapping, Someone’s in the back napping,

Computer keys clicking, The clock keeps ticking
