In for four
Hold for seven
Out for eight
Watch the roses outside
The overwhelming red turn beautiful
In for four
Hold for seven
Out for eight
Watch the rain outside trickle down the window
And bet on which drop will win
In for four
Hold for seven
Out for eight
Listen to the humming distraction of the boy across from you
Try to hum along
In for four
Hold for seven
Out for eight
Finally look back down at your paper
Calmly answer the question
In for four
Hold for seven
Out or eight

A good write JB. Erm, I didn't get the hang of it. I breathed in for four, then held it for seven hundred. Some wag had adjusted the poem, and added 'hundred'! I blew up! heehee.
I liked this, from beginning to almost the very end... I think maybe you need an F in the final line.. otherwise this guys gonna burst... N
Oh fuck you're right
oops
