Lullaby

Hush little baby,
don't you cry.
I feel your tears,
I'm by your side.
Lay still in the night,
keep your chin up high.
Breathe one last breath,
a silent goodbye.

Hush little baby,
don't say a word.
Don't make a sound
until you're heard.
Wander all alone
in the darkest cold.
Smile softly for me,
a smile bought and sold.

Hush little baby,
don't leave me here.
You can learn from me
and all that I fear.
I'm speaking softly,
listen closely to me.
Watch my eyes,
it's you I see.

Am I to assume you wrote this poem in math class, or that you typed it up in math class? If it's the latter, I will be extremely impressed, seeing as my school (a high school, which could be the difference) has Blogger completely blocked.

*moans* Now all I can think of when I reread this poem is dead babies in Vietnam as described in The Things They Carried...*whimpers*

Blogger Blockade Begins. Yup, that's got a nice ring to it for a newspaper heading. Ah, alliteration...


Yeah, it's been blocked for us all year...pretty recent. So to answer, written in Math class =)

Bela... u make my life complete :D umm i was scared of that poem. i feel like its something that would be in a horror film... like a little girl would sing it... and then all of a sudden she was murdered or something horrible... like those really creepy eerie scenes.

its very well written tho...
