A/N: I rarely write poetry, but this one came to me two hours ago.

Busy Afternoon

I hear the hall bells sing:
three o'clock, three o'clock
as I type away.

Though the seagulls are calling,
and the sunshine is beckoning
I type, mope and write:
deadlines, deadlines, deadlines.

When I write my last line
I will smile
since I will be one step closer
to going out.

well done comrade, going out with a smile

Thanks. I might do that later. :)

I think a lot of people do feel this especially because it's summer.

Mm, it's a feeling a lot can relate to.

I really like this, but there's just this one thing that annoys me.

I don't think you need the "me to wonder about--". It's slightly offputting, and disrupts the flow of the poem... maybe read it out loud to yourself, firstly with the line in, and then without it. You should be able to hear the difference. Personally, I feel that it flows/sounds better without the line, but of course, that might just be me.

The rest is all good, though; I have to say that the first stanza is my favourite. =]

I think I agree with you there. it is indeed offputting and forced, but i thought i needed to insert the sense of wandering which i did not think was established. Thanks.

I'm glad you liked it.
