darkness cleaves fins tight
  underwater swims dreaming 
        emerge, cringes intact

syllabus rules fools
      tight is her grip on fat cat
          he rushes waves in dew morn

                 aquarium cracks
            psyche hacks quiet wisely
              avocado gold pisces fold images ~

Wonderful imagery! For sure, real life and formal education are not the same. When one lets go, unloads the extra stuffing, what has been taught to him by tenured others, one starts to truly learn...and, perhaps~ truly live!

Woaaah the plethora of imagery that you've painted in such a few words, my dear Ghairo! I'm absolutely awestruck and amazed by the way you've written "aquarium cracks psyche hacks quiet wisely avocado gold pisces fold images ~" such artistic wordsmithery! Truly clever! "Syllable rules fools" that's quite intriguing! I'm scared for the cat though lol! Brilliantly done! Best wishes to you for the contest! Sending light and love ~ p.s. I just noticed the like feature on soup while commenting on your poem! How cool ?!
