Poem: "Guidance Counseling"

Aug 20, 2011 00:09

This poem came out of the August 16, 2011 Poetry Fishbowl with some inspiration from previous discussions about the folks in Monster House. It was prompted by aldersprig, eseme, fayanora, and janetmiles. It has been sponsored by janetmiles. You can read the other Monster House poems on the serial poetry page of my website.

Wow, Janet bought it outright? Cool.

Yes... ysabetwordsmith August 20 2011, 06:45:24 UTC

She asked about it earlier, and I was waiting to see what she'd decide before I got back to you.

Y'know, if the gremlins were *really* in a mood, they might have left some sort of egg in her car.

Alive, of course..

The poems from this series mostly make me smile. Thank you for that.

Yay! ysabetwordsmith August 20 2011, 14:07:36 UTC

I'm happy to hear that.

I think the guidance counselor was a little too bitchy, all things considered, but I love it anyway! :)

Well... ysabetwordsmith August 20 2011, 14:08:50 UTC

I've never actually met one who was competent, so I had to tone things down and guess a bit.

I'm kinda in agreement with this. I had to suspend a fair amount of disbelief to accept a guidance counselor that would question a child wanting a library card.

Well... ysabetwordsmith August 20 2011, 14:34:53 UTC

Ever seen how weird some people get around handicapped folks? It happens.
