Dots By Janel Raab

Small dots on the ceiling,
hold and quench my boredom;
counting everyone,
as the teacher drones on.

Some are bigger than others,
some are not whole,
but everyone is counted;
only to entertain
my own curious mind,
because

Small dots on the ceiling
hold and quench my boredom;
counting everyone,
as the teacher drones on.

This is great. It's exactly how I feel when I'm sitting in class sometimes. I really like the words you use such as "quench" and "drones". And the repetition of the first stanza to finish the poem off is wonderful.
