Ode To Templates

Mara Lynn Barbee

----------------------------------------

It's Friday.
The school day's almost over,
Along with the school week.
Soon I'll be headed home to a weekend.
I have almost no homework, or at least that's what I think.
Until I see what it is.
Templates.
Filling forms like detailed outlines of essays,
Like notes on what to write,
It should be simple but its not.
"It's preparation for college"
It's drudgery is what it is.
Now I have to spend my weekend
Seeped in stress and frustration,
Filling out the dreaded templates.
