Oh, Homework

This is an original and humorous poem all about homework. Through sarcasm, I show the positives of homework. This is an ode or an elegy to the thing that most students hate the most in the world.




Oh, Homework

The muffled sounds in the other room

Silence that seeps from the walls

Concentration that eclipses the moon

Long hours, and the warm bed calls

Keyboards chattering away into the night

Eyes drooping, mouths yawning

Oh, how terribly wonderful the sight

Working till the sun starts dawning

Busy nights that keep me firm

Never fearing boredom

For you have so much appeal and allure

Idleness I cannot fathom

Together, we go hand in hand

A life partner through the years

Creating masterpieces without demand

No pain, no stress, no tears

Homework, I could not live without

Could never part with thee

For if there’s one thing without a doubt

Homework is a part of me
