Will End Too
As I sit by myself in a room full of Strangers, I listen to the cacophony , The Chaos of Voices, laughter and conversations ; It feels very familiar, and I can't help but wonder how soon it Will end . And again after a few...

When I’m not tapped into a music stream. I like quiet no - let’s be exact, I like silence ear plugs in - deafening quiet or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound That’s relatively new technology My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes like the patterns sound forms in sand. But if you’re going to...

Premium Member The Joy Of Childhood
Finding your lost mittens in the school’s lost and found. Playing with some puppies as they run and jump around. Happiness on your first day at school in your new dress. Your favorite swing when the bell rang for recess. Thinking upon these things, a smile comes to your face. When just before the ball got there, you reached first...

Elegy of the Shattered Mirror
In halls where silence once held sway, A storm did breach the calm of day. A voice, unbidden, harsh and cold, Unfurled its tale, its judgment bold. It spoke of faults unseen, unfound, Its echoes spread, a bitter sound. No evidence to back its claim, Yet still it sought to tarnish name. The mirror cracked, its truth betrayed, By words that in the shadows...

Premium Member Half past Summer, Two Months till Fall
Half past summer, two months till fall, boredom, bullies; teacher neglect. sandcastles, encase, be my pall! Half past summer, two months till fall. when school bells toll, tenderfoots bawl— sun's embrace, we'd warmly collect. Half past summer, two months till fall, blackboards, bullies; teacher regret....

We shall be speaking Physics by the end of today
This is a problem growing in direct proportion To the papers that we face very soon In everyone’s speech a pronounced distortion And half the class sleepwalking at noon I’m here chiefly to bring to your attention You may soon not understand us Because I for one, others by extension Shall be speaking nothing but Physics because James is moving about too excited Gerald...

We’re frantically typing to finish our assignments and end our Friday night homework confinement. Chella wants to go to a frat-house soirée I went to a few of those back in the day. No more frat parties, I once emphatically said. I make rules for myself, usually based on emotion but once I calm down, rules are made to be broken, and...

In the Shadow of the Chalkboard
In halls where silence speaks louder than words, I stand, a beacon amidst the unseen. Their gazes, sharp as unspoken swords, Pierce through the facade, where I've always been. Once, my voice resonated with pride, Now, it's drowned by murmurs and disdain. Yet, I endure, with dignity as my guide, In a place where respect is hard to attain. But within me, a...

My high school reunion: old classmates, old friends, old adversaries, old strangers meet after decades trying to discern who's who, who's lived, who's passed, who's disappeared... lost youth commemorated... survival celebrated....
