So Cool In School

Remember how it was in school Diverse and sundry subjects -- Cool! History, Math, Chemistry; Art and Music too A Foreign Language, Swimming in a pool Our minds were open, we took it in With time left over to smile and grin ... Today we spend all day to write two poems Our brains perhaps have morphed into thumbs

School days indeed were so much fun. We had too many things to do and we did everything with ease and with an open mind. Now we have narrowed our activities...! For some, like us, it is writing poetry! Great poem dear Gershon !

We narrowed down what we like, still we need to expand our horizons too… through the kids, perhaps…my grandson has me listening to his favorite son “bones,” by Imagine Dragons.

Kids can be the go-to source for becoming 'curious and curiouser' again!

Gershon, I feel we have brilliant minds.. We are well past school years, just scared to death to address reality in poetry. Just read comments anywhere…it’s all kissy face, funny or cute. Our freedom as a nation is shutting down and we pretend it’s not Organs are being harvested in China, we really are already Fascist. And we have nothing to say? Panagiota

We have nothing to say. We're already gay, that's for sure. ~ Fagele
