1. The poet's thoughts are of the old days at his primary school and every little interesting thing that happened to him or around him. He probably felt a bit of nostalgic and maybe just a tinge of sadness when he looked back at these happy memories.

Old Memories
Tied my shoe laces,
Grabbed my schoolbag
And rushed off to school,
ready to face another day.
Stepped into the classroom
Only to see people rushing work.
Said hi to my friends before
Going down to the hall.
After singing the national anthem,
We went back and began class.
The bell rang and there was chaos,
as people rushed out of the classroom.
Teacher stepped in,
and we had to line up.
Finally freedom when the final bell rang,
We then walked home together
While ramming each other towards the walls.
So you see school is not easy
but you can bet it's memorable.

You can't "beat" its memeories? And really, is the first poem about primary school? Look at the title, I think there's a hint there. Choose 2 classmates and comment on their analysis and poem.
ReplyDeleteI like your poem, it brings back memories of us playing after school with all our friends. That day is really memorable.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how many students equate the bell with freedom in their poems. But just remember, just like the poet, in a few years, these will be the happiest days of your life. In retrospect, of course!
