Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required The Empty Academy Schoolhouse It stands on a vast green lot, No trees to shelter it from heavy, gray clouds on the rolling foothill horizon. Its thin coat of white paint peels, revealing bare, dry-rotted wood. The rickety porch boards, once sturdy under children’s energetic steps, look about to collapse at the slightest wind gust. What’s it like inside? Puddles of water from the last rain? Rat’s nest in the woodstove? Any desks or yellowed books, pencils, love notes left behind? A soiled ribbon slid off some girl’s braid? A chalkboard with spelling words or arithmetic problems still on it? What songs, prayers, or memorized poems still echo off faded, white-washed walls? When was the first day of school? When was the last? What became of all the children, who once ran around laughing all over this green meadow? What happened to ball players, clover-chain weavers, kids who picked lupines and fiddlenecks for their teacher? Did they leave Academy, or do they lie in the cemetery on a nearby hill? Published in Song of the San Joaquin, Spring 2021 Issue This old school house is in the tiny pioneer town of Academy, just outside of Fresno, California, near the Sierra Nevada foothills. Some of the descendants of the pioneer families still remain in the area.
