Examination Poem by Raihana Abdul Jabbar

Examination

Rating: 4.9


Eerie silence...
Restless feet tap-danced...
Fuming Impatiently,
To get rid of that feeling of Insecurity....
Drab Hours, Sleepless nights
Of arduous study...
Weren't I sincere?
Yes, but why? ...Mind is BLANK....
Perspiration...Inspite
The air-conditioned classroom
Q.P handed out...
B.P on the high...
In the name of Almighty,
Whom, on a normal day,
I seldom recall...
I measured my intellect,
Upon a set of problems...
'It was easy enough'...
With a sigh of relief...
OUT of the hall, OUT of the strain...
Once more, neglecting that Power,
Which helped me OUT...

The first line of “Eerie silence...” stops one immediately. Lot of action in the next two lines, then the pace slows down in more of a thinking mood. The three OUTs help to exite the exiting with an unexpected confessions. Well done.
