The Test Results
I missed a period
 Actually more than one
 My father was furious, 
 my mother distraught.
 Though it saddened me most to see
 my English teacher so disappointed –
 she had seen such potential in me.
 Friends offered their condolences 
 for my situation.
 All this because of one mistake;
 A momentary lapse would dictate
 The rest of the year…
 I had failed the grammar test. Period.
