Premium MemberI Posted a New Short Story - Seniors

I have another piece that's too long for here - so it's in "Short Storries."

It's called "Seniors" - about a High School graduation party

I know I could take things out - but then it's not what I wanted to say *shrug*

Here's the link

As I studied long for my last exam,
I kept drifting off to happy land.
So I had to think of a fool proof plan,
to keep me studying for my last exam.
So I wrote a note for anyone’s hand,
it reads like this, my devious plan.

If I fall asleep,
 before I finish this.

Will you wake me up,
  with a baseball bat?

 If, I fall asleep,
     If . . I, fall asleep,
        If . . .  I . . fall, asleep
            before I . . . finish, this.

Premium MemberOn Graduation Day

My favourite laptop screensaver is a photograph of you on graduation day ... your beaming smile hides an aching heart of such tragic loss as your two school friends died in your second year of study, neither living to see your smile on graduation day ... they would have been so proud of all you had achieved and my heart fills with pride that you didn’t give up studying, in fact, you were the top student and recognised internationally on graduation day ... I was proudest mother of them all! 9/12/19 Writing Challenge 2, September 2019 - The Photograph Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode

School comes to an end
Cap, gown and sash, worn proudly
       Students sigh and rejoice

Premium MemberThe Toughest Teacher of All

"They are a little rambunctious, " Mr. Pete said. He was a small man, quite wee.
Mr. Dass rolled his eyes, giving me a better perspective, no soap in the sink.
"They  have scared three big, bad male teachers off since September," Mr. Dass told me. 
Both of their faces were almost burgundy red now, they tried hard, bright-eyed, and curiously pink. 
"I would like to try it," I told them. "I'm not easily scared," I said with all of my masterful me.
I ended up teaching the drafting students for three years, we went through gobs of ink.
"This was the most difficult one credit hour class I ever took in my life," one of my charges told me.
Three years into it, and neither Mr. Pete or Mr. Dass had told me this, I gave the student a wink.

thank you thank you to my mentor
she seen in me in me no one could see
write your poetry but use virgule
and diligent I write tons of nonsense
with no virgules as I am a bad student
but you forever in my heart never to be forgotten my mentor.
