She made her way down the hallway, smiling at all who passed by.
She smiled during English.
She smiled during P.E.
She smiled all day long.
And, that night, she cried.

    Short but not so sweet, poor thing. Nice job at a succinct entry that still fits the bill of the challenge, and quite well at that.

    I like how you didn’t say the “defensive” part out right; you gave the readers some time to figure it out themselves. And nice repetition.

    Poetry is not really my bag (funny how there are never enough aliens in it :-D )

    But I felt the emotion in this one. Well done!
