Human written on 8/6/2025 for Seasons Now And After Poetry Contest sponsored by Nette Onclaud 

I'm at my keyboard as I remember
a long ago dawning of September. 
Who would have thought that a once youthful lad
would encounter summer's end and be glad?
He enjoyed all the freedom and the play,
given a boy on each extended day.
But now, was ready to return to school,
a sentiment not oft' considered cool. 
To see the posted list, to school he raced, 
to find out in which class he would be placed. 
and know - would he get the nicest teacher,
or the one like a black lagoon creature.
