As everyone came into the classroom, Chloe was looking through the books that she'd pulled from the library for today's class, and giggling madly. Should that be taken as a foreboding sign? Quite possibly, yes.

"Okay folks," Chloe said when everyone had settled, "when I was putting together the syllabus for this class, I thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted to include poetry. It isn't exactly my favorite style of written expression, but I realized that some of you might enjoy it, or at least get a kick out of it. And once I discovered that there were actually going to be boys here, I knew it had to stay," she added, with a smirk.

Chloe passed out ~~the requisite Wiki link~~ a simple handout on the different styles of poetry. "What I'd like for you to do today is to write a love poem. It doesn't have to be anything long or epic, and it doesn't even have to rhyme," she explained, glancing momentarily at Janet. "I fully expect to get poems of silly love because hi, I have met all of you. But feel free to write something sincere if you wish."

[Posted early because I can make no guarantees about my availability today - my brother is graduating from high school (*sniff!*) so I'm not going to be around for interaction until sometime in the evening.]

Kawalsky read. "This is really good, man," he said.

Aww. Touching moment as the macho men bond over love poetry. It might even bring a tear to someone's eye.

Cameron blushed a bit. "Yours sounds all real, dude."

Kawalsky coughed. "Well, all you gotta do is do as Shakespeare did. He got all the chicks." His chest may have puffed out a little at the praise.

"Yeah, girls seem to really like that mushy stuff," Cameron shook his head and handed Kawalsky his book back.

"They lap it up," Kawalsky agreed and handed back Cam's book. He shifted in his seat again as he got his own book back. "So we never have to talk about what we read ever again, right?"

"I can agree to that," Cameron said eagerly. "This stays between us."

"Right," Kawalsky nodded. He closed his book and started looking around, before deciding that the uncomfortable silence was too much.

He started doodling on his book.
