Exhaustion Enlightens the English Students.

It has been a long week full of activates Homework piled on endlessly by teachers and parents Hours upon hours of problems to solve and pages to read Teachers expectations are as large as the largest ocean Never ending and destroyer of men Home of the largest creatures in its deeps Ready to engulf whole ships at will The need to fulfill the expectations is killer Driving students to the brink of insanity and beyond At the end of the week students have little energy Friday is not a night to party but a night to pass out Without drugs and alcohol I don’t remember the night My soccer suspects that this is untrue They couldn’t be more wrong While with friends I seem out of the loop Slacking behind without the energy Falling asleep whenever still for too long After school is over the extracurricular activities begin Physical labor in the barren garden Readying it for the lush spring around the corner Spring rains rushing the time to an end Running around drenched to the bone chilling Still needing time for the ones that I care for so much Once home or any home hours slow down Exhaustions sets in and the I slowly drift off Peaceful as a forest emerging into spring William Wordsworth was a poet form the Romantic Period in England. In all of his poems he has the defined characteristics of the Romantic period, a few examples are the strong sense of beauty found in nature and its positive effect on people, and often writes in sympathy for the underdog of society. In my poem Exhaustion I reflected the Romantic period’s used by William Wordsworth. The most clear characteristic is the sympathy for the underdog of society by the student’s endless working to get approval from his teachers but still trying to find time for what he want to do, packing his day as full as he can. The beauty of nature can also be seen in the vast ocean of the teachers’ expectations foe their students and the peacefulness of a forest emerging from spring.
