Best Schoolmaster Poems

He lived on a beautiful, rural farm, back in fond, good old days of yore,
With his parents and two brothers; like sun's going in and out the door.

He had always adored the color blue, so he had been nicknamed that.
At eight years old, he was...

The peacock with spread-out plume,
Dances to Nature's tune,
The sun's fadeless glow,
The monsoon's rainbow, 
Isn't our Nature,
Very spectacular?

The preaches of the priests,
They themselves don't practice! 
The teachers teach, 
A mere printed speech!
Mother Nature expresses,
What she really is! 

Nature is wiser than the wisest----
Of  the Nobel-laureates.

Young, we started life together but fate forked us separate ways:
Some folks continued while others dropped out at the elementary.
On and on we were done with the competitions of the basic days;
Andrew became a schoolmaster and Aggrey a sly entrepreneur,
Augustine became a man of science...

Blue Hunter's Moon of the Festival of Lights.
And the day of Vengeance of our Holy One to comfort all those who mourn.

Isaiah 61:3-11
I Proclaim the acceptable Generation or Year and Day of Yehoshua also known as Yeshua our Hamashiach and King of Kings. The Birth,...

"The Silent Speakeasy"



she guevara she
sashay speakeasy 
monotone in neon poetry

notes not belonging
to diatonic scale of key
chromatic passenger a new story

she guevara she

Anagrams
rebellious 
sudoku kings and queens

silent 
dusty 
schoolmaster (take off your te)

sedate 
the eyes

bluest 
glare
glean

she guevara she
the silent speak easy

If my poetry moves you to witness to stranger
Just know that I'm touched that you're "sharing my ride,"
For the fact is that giving can be fraught with danger,
But those that it calls feel much warmer inside!

I have so little knowledge to call my invention
Some came...

What an earthly disaster
The rivers are red
The water keeps on rising
Trinidad and Tobago under water
Politician and Ministers these are your sons and daughters
Mankind need aid and helicopter to reach them faster
Cities are submerging
People are uniting
Humanity is surfacing
You can work much faster
After all you are the...

Schlerotic schlemiel schleps...and says Shalom...

to anonymous readers March 6th, 2021
(blustery and chilly Saturday)
reminiscing about mien kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth
frittered away within
emotional wilderness of mine.

Into lonely senescence -
three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation, abdication... unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating accumulation
of "baggage" thumb

of right hand thrust out
silently raving, quaking
cursing ultimatum...

she pips in fear for lateness like her peers,

hauteur cloaked with reticence,

her-boo-boo-vague, though walled around and palpable

official Narcissist disguised in rude affronts

Bravado of naughtiness in candor yet tacit

 

“Free me free me”, rants in melancholy

as  ignorance upsets sorts of sort

Insensibility of differentiate as angels...

Teachers can't afford to live there
    So parents of student are offering space
  We've seen this scenario before
    Hearken back to Colonial days*

  But back then there were no taxes
    Parents paid teachers out-of-pocket

I'm not a preachy schoolmaster
Armed with various pens and a duster;
And I'm not the Almighty to dictate 
About wrong and right in human state,
But this I can tell with ample ease:
That no man has a license to do whatever they please!...
