First day at School

I wonder
if my drawing
will be as good as theirs.
I wonder
if they’ll like me
or just be full of stares.

Wonder :	surprise, doubt.
Drawing :	a picture or diagram made with a pencil, pen, or crayon rather than paint.
Stares :	the fixed look with eyes wide open.

Gran :	grandmother.
Puppy :	a baby dog.

I wonder
if my teacher
will look like Mom or Gran.
I wonder
if my puppy
will wonder where I am.
