My Favorite Elementary School Teacher
As the yellow-orange sun slowly rises
Memories of your class's fun flood my heart
Thoughts run to your teaching and enterprises
You brought those tiny guppies to our class
A creative shiny diorama's great art
Sunshiny person and dedicated lass
You lifted us up when you said
All

The Teeny Weeny Arachnid
The teeny weeny arachnid
crawled up my dingy wall.
Little did he know
this would turn into a brawl.
Then I grabbed a shoe
held it high above my head.
And the teeny weeny arachnid
is now officially dead.
*Nearly two years ago, on April 2, 2021, I decided to try ’30 days of poetry.’ This was day two and the prompt was:

Kindergarten Teacher
Kindergarten Teacher
Kind when she shares her bologna sandwich.
Imaginative when she has to use Q-tips to teach.
Nurturing to teeter totter injuries.
Daring when rescuing an mystery object from the toilet.
Earnest when explaining this adventure to her principal.

I
the mind returns to things
although the major focus is loved ones
LOST
valued then and now
yet lost, somehow
II
my first book of poetry
written before seventeen
Lost when my sister sold our home
I was lost in America
being FOUND by Jesus among Christ-followers
I value more

the mind, if not disciplined in loving care,
will return from people to things gone
My acrylic paintings, shown

Lost Art
a decade ago, I picked up water colors and acrylics
O the exuberance of being a first-time artist
Who, in myriad poverty of apartheid, scorned art
As the purview of those living in luxury
Yet I was spending five hours on painting crosses with doves
Celebrating Jesus and the Holy Spirit
Then too, in 2012, my heart and art suffered loss
As

Ode To An Elementary School Teacher
I
First period each morning she meets their languid sighs
Their low moaning at new tasks to be undertaken
She must be upbeat, no matter her personal woes,
In her crisp, clean dress and comfortable walking shoes
She steps briskly around the room with encouraging
Words, smiles for the underprivileged girl so needy
A hint of special affection for a wayward

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
by
JOHN M. ARROBAS
I can’t teach you the piano, nor the violin
But some thoughts on life, now to begin
There will be snares and tempts along the way
You may not recognize them, as you are the prey
Who is the most dangerous to your well being
Look in the mirror, its him you’ll be seeing
It’s long been

Sandy Hook Elementary School Rampage December 14 2012 Prayer Part One
Tribute to those slain at sandy hook elementary school ™
I read the terribly tragic news oh boy
about unlucky kids
at a Connecticut elementary school
thus a spark in me
heavily languished from deadly ploy!
The steely bullets lit
tinder - kindle ling bastard
nemesis illicit throve illicit
pandemonium didst sting

Sandy Hook Elementary School Rampage December 14, 2012 Prayer Part Two
...prized progeny well nigh impossible chore
haunted by priceless offspring,
neither surviving
papa/ mama can never a door
not ever again hearing
soft pitter patters across floor
mental angst fraught with blood & gore
this haint mooch different,
than a g.i. Joe in battle fatigues
locked in moral combat with korps
indelibly

Talbot Elementary School Fifth Grade Bands
Mrs. Lightfoot had taught music at Talbot Elementary School for years.
A couple of her pupils excelled in music but most became engineers.
She sat at her desk to muse upon the past after another trying day,
Recalling events that had contributed to the 'dyeing' of her hair gray!
She remembered concerts when the cacophonous din made her wince,
And

Lovely Elementary School
Playground
Running around the playground,
Oh how I wish I could stick around.
Ouch I just fell on the ground,
Oh how I love the sound.
Science
Dissecting frogs,
Checking out different kinds of logs.
There's even jars with baby hogs,
I've even learned about different kinds of bogs.
Art
I like painting lots of flowers,
Maybe for a whole hour.
Once I even drew the Eiffel

What I Will Miss About Elementary School
What I'll miss about elementary school will be recess!
Fun in the sun, I love this place,
I have to confess.
Recess was the the best space.
I'll miss my old teachers,
and all their awesome features.
I'll miss all my coaches and their advice.
They were all very helpful and nice.
To high school I go,
All my talents and skill I will

Elementary School
I will miss some of my teachers,
Sitting with my friends.
On the bleachers,
Till the very end.
In elementary school,
We see are friends almost all day.
Which is pretty cool,
In the suns hot rays.
My teachers that I had,
I will not forget.
They were not that bad,
I even had Mrs. Burgett.

What I Will Miss About Elementary School
What I'll miss most of all,
I'm not quite sure about.
It could be when my friends and I had a ball,
Or when we would laugh and shout.
It could be having only 3 or 4 teachers a day,
Or playing 4-square on the playground.
Instead we'll be sitting in the classroom writing an essay,
Waiting until we hear the bell
