The echo of footsteps, <br />Fills the empty dim-lit walls. <br />Schools out? No yet, <br />I’m still here and with the zest, <br />To learn and to be learning… <br />Yet this cold walls, <br />Breathe neither life nor sound, <br />Only flickering lights, <br />Dripping taps and footsteps. <br />Learning with a tutor? <br />Peaceful and rewarding… yet, <br />Lonely… is this is my school ground. <br />With no friends to sit with, <br />As they swim and lark <br />Elsewhere… <br />On their study day.<br /><br />Melissa Coventry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/schools-out-not-yet/
