A 100 or less worded Micro fiction in poetry genre this time around, with a Prompt in bold (not included in the 100 words count) that has to be left intact in the Poem. Sing along with other rhymes at Jenny Matlock's meme...her blog off on my tangent.
I am above average in studies
And I don’t quite worry
Must I proclaim anyway
Nothing you say is making a headway
Often I seek the outside
Training my thoughts on the roadside
Alas I am not always invisble
Caught by a question unanswerable
Holding my head down in so deplorable
I’m not a chicken
Classmates, don’t be concerned
Kneeling down and 100 long lines I can tolerate
Enjoy the show but do calculate
Next is you on the line Dear, Saddened Wilma!!! :P
(( Wilma Roche (A Goan Catholic) was one of my best friends from 6th-10th grade in my all girls convent school (St.Anne's, Bombay)...
We lost touch after junior college i.e.11th and 12th grade here....
and she had this klutzy habit of breaking my glasses (shortsighted me) atleast once a year !! ))

This is perfect! I love the way you played with the first word of each line - very cool.
Namaste..........cj
Well done! Very clever indeed.
How did you do this? I really need to try my hand at acrostic poetry...although I suspect I will come nowhere close to your level of expertise.
This was really an excellent use of this difficult prompt.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
