Spectator

A spectator is always the one on the bleachers,
He’s always the student, and never the teacher.

A spectator watches, listens, and waits,
For the certain date,
That may involve him,
But the chances that date will happen,
Are very slim,
So for now he just waits.

He is the viewer, the watcher, the observer,
Always the one to look over your shoulder,
He witnesses every move that you make,
And when you get boring he takes a break,
So for now he just waits.

A spectator looks upon all your games,
Yet he never gets a turn,
Nor is he asked to join,
So for now he just waits, and he waits, and he waits,
For that certain date,
When he might be invited to play or perform.

But until that certain date,
When he’s asked to join,
He just watches…
And watches…
And waits.

  1. This poem gives a crystal clear description of the word spectator. It gives interesting details, and repeats one stanza in all parts of the poem to make it easy to understand, it even rhymes!

  2. Wow! that's an amazing amazing poem! It really helps you understand what spectator means. It sounds kind of mysterious, but in a good way.
    Great job Lizzie, Jessica, Bridget, and Hannah!
