Anais Vionet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Summer’s almost over and the virtual awaits
------------------------------------------------------------

The Hounds of Hell

Summer’s almost over - that convalescent state
where successive modes of pleasure
were the order of the day.
Now fall commands awakening -
drive simplicity away! The hounds
of hell are yelping that it’s time to banish play.
They cry “forget unscheduled hours 
that owned no share of care - the virtual halls
are scheduled and we’ll soon see you there.”
No apotropaic magic can delay my slated fate - 
to pixelated halls of learning I must soon acclimate.

Quoth Theraven August 13, 2020 at 8:58 AM Anais, From the present drew forth the past. Baudelaire's ghost would smile at this poem. -Richard Anais Vionet August 14, 2020 at 1:37 AM I can settle for entertaining ghosts - do you think they're bored?

Rico Leffanta August 2, 2020 at 11:40 AM My granddaughter gets her virtual homework accomplished on Monday, so she has the rest of the week "free". However, it is important to master daily discipline when one is young. I am confident you will do well! Aloha! Rico Rico Leffanta August 3, 2020 at 1:31 PM Hang in there! School is such a short time in one's life. Be happy you have access to the internet so you can learn all about what interests YOU! Aloha! Rico Anais Vionet August 2, 2020 at 3:28 PM We have complete hour long classes - where we can see the teachers and they can see US - so we’re pretty much tuen in from 07:24 AM - 02:10 PM Week days. =/ I wish we could get ahead like that. =]

John Gondolf August 2, 2020 at 10:19 AM I can tell how excited you ae to get back to the routine of "unconventional" school. ;) I'm sure you don't think so now but there will come a day when you will relish to return to your school days. Enjoy them while you can my young friend. And btw this is a wonderfully written rhyme. All the best. John Anais Vionet August 2, 2020 at 3:24 PM I was hoping for REAL school - I want to hug all of my friends - thank you!

Arturo Michael August 2, 2020 at 7:54 AM Well done...some order must return but with caution, because the beast still roams... Anais Vionet August 2, 2020 at 9:00 AM Yes, we'll be in virtual school, thankfully =] Thank you for the comment Arturo!
