love poem
Today
Ms Batlow
read us a poem on love
your lips are like cherries
ripe, sweet, and soft fruit
we kiss under a pale moon
we swoon
our hands clam tight
eyes bright
may this moment linger
I slip this ring upon your finger
our lips,
our hands
our hearts…
when she finishes
32 students who hate Maths
put up their hands
and say
"please Ms can we do Maths now
please..."
