Academy Poems

Confederate Blaurt vs Police Academy

Billions in property lines
Child hostages 
John Candy and male stripping?

Owners of school holsters
Ama Jewish norigins










Watered ears kneeling 
Complicated boarding times
And unfinished conversations 
When and won't
Built a school
Running out of jobs together 

American Debts we can't shove 
Out of the paperwork

Army BRATS Always Wanna Fly High

Army BRAT’S Always ‘Wanna’ Fly High

The tradition necessitates that as a child born unto military parents
Called by the beloved acronym Born Raised and Trained (BRAT’S)
Be always on the spotlight as they augment and compliment
The guys in uniform ever shifting from one place to another
Military BRAT’S never quite settle born and raised as sojourners

Born of a

Every man and woman will attend the academy of transformation

The element of change is to keep your destiny alive
Life will rearrange itself because you must be kept on track!
Your life needs change bringing on the reality that
Every man and woman will attend the academy of transformation
The anatomy of a season will spring forth new life in your heart and
Darkness will appear as light and

I went to school to try and find
new ways to write creatively.
Professors challenged my young mind
with homework drills approved by the
Academy.

Postmodernism ruled the day.
No metered rhymes were ever heard-
such verse considered "too passé".
Creative Writing profs preferred 
some obscure word.

The free verse that I wrote while there
was abstract, cynical, rhyme-free,
sophisticated, debonair.
The one flaw in such poetry

The Empty Academy Schoolhouse

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

The Academy

I was thinking today about what it meant 
To be one of us together in the years we spent
For three years at the Academy by the sea
Living in through the week away from our families 

Being together it created a bond
One that lasts through the years beyond
We band of brothers once stood together
That helped us

Amiable Academy

Early rise, sonorous sleep, ceaseless schedule, yellow uniform
I bundle my books, handle my hair and sprint to school
To learn motivating material from a peerless physical platform
In caring classrooms with a practical portfolio pool

Nibbling notes, listening to limpid lessons, factorizing facts
To test my time, hone my hands, tenderize my tactics and train
My amygdala, my bludgeoned books

On An Invitation By the Cultural Academy

On An Invitation By The Cultural Academy 
-----------------------------------
Outside , the red leaves falling off old chinars,
The famous hall must have resonated with the duet
"Dil chooran hai dil nyum shaaman...",
And audiences moved-- some dancing in their seats , others clapping their hands.
Seeing a film in the ancient theatre
On such a legendary woman singer's life,
Having wah! Hot

An Academy Awards Affair

An Academy Awards Affair
(To remember???)

When playing game called Academy Awards
You must learn how to use many chords
And then I started to play song's notes
People left and had to jump in their boats.

To many was really an amusing affair
But for others sure was hard to bare
As show went along and it progressed
Not impressed with way women

Academy Rewards

Something doesn't sound just right
a panel votes you win
What would they gain by cheating?
box office loss a Sin

Yell like you were on a set
A tantrum? That might help
Tell the world they slighted you
but you've really gotta yelp 

You watched that movie you were in
you thought you were so great 
The voters didn't notice you?
It has
