It’s not wonderful how
loud my erasers snore in
the sunlight!

Chewing Erasers
Tapping my pencil on the desk.
What will I write about?
Chewing the eraser -
Now I have to stick to the subject!
I worry -
Is the lead too long?
Will it break?
What if I make a mistake?
I have to be cautious
and aware of each flub.
As the lead slacks
I must be ready to end.
But what if I have more
to tell?
I

Erasers and Pencils
Written within my history,
By pen, pencil, or quill,
The pages are no mystery
Some yet to be written still
From my many dawn breaks
Blank pages becoming too few
Fond memories and heartaches
Waiting to be written anew
My past, already written
But, then I met you
At first glance, I was smitten
Imagining futures new
Your smile is like an eraser
My sadness and pain removed
Your

Time Erasers
I have a friend so dear
though clever she's not clear
to life and these things
her phone constantly rings
but to answer it is she don't
when to be somewhere she won't
if so she's surely late
even for a date
she has no sense of time
that doesn't seem to chime
I always behold the watch
I'm dependable don't botch
I ask myself this though
is

Soft Pink Erasers -Win
Soft Pink Erasers
A person breathes into the world undressed pink
The lovely pink joy drinks from a nipple that’s pink
An alluring pleasing color that makes one wink
Pink is the color of the tears running on cheeks.
Pink is the color of girl who wins the heart of a man
And the pink is the color of the heart

Eternal Erasers
We are nothing but pencils
In the hand of times and seasons,
Our past and present are stencils;
Rough or smooth… for whatever reasons.
For our past errors we seek erasers,
Their horrors may haunt our history,
In black and white… in pure or poor papers,
We often want to write a new and straight story.
Our erasers may be right attitude…repentance
Because our

Erasers Removed Just Like Prayer
.
Empty souls enter the room
Rush to the waiting desks
Answer questions from rote
Spirit filling is left (out in street)
Erasers no longer in the room
Removed just like prayer____
(Most schools no longer have chalk boards and erasers but have electronic equipment)

There Are No Erasers Allowed In Eternity...
Amongst our sturdy bricks that we carry as shell,
Our Infinity bows to a death we sooth well,
Like a needle in a car-wrech with an idiot in the hay,
Toe to heal, we're treading, dancing in the grey.
Polarized, I say, mocks eternity of your name,
Love and hate, beside, apart but the same,
Future, past and a cut to

Clapping Erasers
I thought it was punishment and a job so un-cool
To have to clean erasers in the back of the school
Until I found out that it was a job meant for two
And the other eraser clapper was gonna be you.
I watched you take an eraser in your left hand and your right
Then clap them together with
