Coupled with a teacher that seemed to be out to cut off my neck, one could hardly blame me for feeling like my stomach was doing summersaults whenever it was time for English literature class.
I think she could see the terror on my face because hardly a lesson went by without her asking me what the meaning of all those 15th century poems was. My favorite answer was: “..uhm.” This was always followed by a long, embarrassing silence during which any chances of ever impressing any girl in class were dashed as I tried to look very thoughtful.
I never thought I’d say this, but I actually miss those classes now. They were a great challenge and have paid of in the long run. Now I enjoy poetry and I do believe inspirational poems exist. Hey, I have written a few too. Here they are:
