Best Academy Poems

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...

But soon began to show
Our volleyball championship

again this constrution
the Earth concept
its sky my chaos

only the Woman
mildly her desires

after our naked bodies
according to the pure mind

to be a city
to live its space

street by street...

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...

For years I have wasted,
Precious time spent with you,
And it is time I faced it,
You are mean-hearted and cruel,

You ravage the inspired souls,
Who fall for your covert snares,
And while the many pay their tolls,
You parade your chosen’s fares,

You teach that poetry inspires,
And yes you’ve proven...

Magician academy,
Spells incantation,
Weaving wands,
Robes velvet.

Blazing tails,
Pointed hats,
Mystic orbs,
Clumsy acts....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

the ivy crunches ‘neath my boot
        cold sounds that crisp the winds
            a snow has left its whitened soot
    not just the ground
but with...

We decided one day to explore an unknown
Outside weeded playgrounds we'd outgrown

Wearing shorts, no shoes, shirts of cotton
We ventured forward to childhood forgotten

We babbled along by the brook. We hurried
Through orchard grass, running past herds

True abandon. We found God's saving graces
Uttered ours, ate apples, washed...
