Time for a rhyme ...
Take the title of your poem and line by line based on the title create a piece where every two lines rhyme ... this is similar to couplets, but for this challenge it will be more like an agnostic. The first letter of each line must be in bold ... minimum title length is three words and they must read straight up and down ... your piece should have NO spaces between the lines and the last three lines MUST rhyme ... if this seems confusing, I will start it off and you can come look to see what I am explaining ... the winner will receive a Prime Time Rhyme award certificate ... make sure you tag me as: @Danceinsilence in the comment box and not in your actual write. Failure to to do this will prevent me from finding and reading your work sooner ... the winner will be chosen based of rhyme ability, style and ingenuity ... have fun with this!

A Day in the Life of a Teacher

Again! She wakes up with a start, the alarm’s blaring sound,

Darting, to get ready for the day, as the clock ticks round.

Alighting from the bus, is no small task on its own,

Yielding not, with bags, laptop and supplies, her shoulders adorn.

Impeccable, her greeting smile, the warmth for the children profound,

Not a strain of tiredness, the sleepless nights that surround.

The inspector, in grandeur style seated, surveys the class,

Hopping around, she plays her part the best, to pass.

Engaging the class and notes to prepare,

Letting off her break, nothing to despair.

Ingratitude, she never knows such,

Fixes all the woes of the parents and much.

Eager to respond to school mails and meetings,

Oblivious of her own health and warnings.

Free time to use for seminars,

Attending workshops and webinars.

Teaches with passion and dynamism,

Eases the doubts with professionalism.

After school, stay backs a routine,

Coffee refills, as tasks umpteen.

Happily awaits, for a bright next day,

Endless work, but never did delay,

Relaxed and poised, she has her own way.
