I submitted this poem as an English final about eight years ago. Got an A, but the teacher wanted to read it aloud in class. I told her I was shy and wouldn't feel comfortable with that, so she didn't.
Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb
Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep
Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I've been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth's gift, back to the meaning of life
I'd always done fair with the tests, though. Never really had to confirm answers with anyone else. Had a few jocks looking over my shoulder in chemistry a lot, though, but never had a problem with it.
