Owl a Lifelong Learner
Owl was unsure what makes fiber optics light up
He pushed back his supper, refusing to sup
I am not going to eat food or drink anything he said
Until I have the answer, lying safely in my head.
He read about quantum physics, and bioluminescent plants
Those reference books will not help him said his much wiser aunts,
They put

The Learner Journey - First Place Contest Winner
1st Place Contest Winner
A learner journey is never done,
For there are always needs to be won.
And the learner needs to repeat the lesson
But the soul of the learner always questions.
Learners wish success in the avid span of insight.
Reaching for stars, they let curiosity flow delight.
I feared taking my first step, but I had to prepare.
I

Abysmally Slow Learner
I don't know about you
but the seeming me abused and cursed
had all my birth fingers burnt off
at the first knuckle before the first lullaby
from too many here hold my beer
blithely eager watch this rolls of the dice
simply to gain a little altitude a little vista
no audience necessary or even indicated
just a little reconstructive surgery by

Learner Surfer
Learner Surfer
I am training myself to surfboard
Practicing on my ironing board
For I'm no loser
And the best mover
Shall win a trophy surfer award.
So I've ironed my best underwear
My motto is to always prepare
If I have a fall
I will not bare all
And my assets won't feel whiffs of air.

I Am An Obsessive Learner
I am an obsessive learner, which drives me
frantically and in a frenzied way
and often
Cartooning is something I cannot stop doing
Painting is fairly new for me
I started with my first canvas five years ago.
My living room holds eighty canvases, all painted by me.
I love neon paints, so I have black lights in
three rooms, which

Fast Learner
Servings for four
which were given to eight
Sent you to bed half-hungry,
and woke you up half-late
Then going to school
without a brown bag
Had your eyes glazed,
gazing at doughnuts
through the bakery glass
Yeah, going to school
without a brown bag
Had your young mind drifting,
dreaming of chow
while dozing off in class
A half-empty stomach
doesn't help you learn fast
Lunchtime is approaching,
finally something

Learner Angry Chef
The angry learner chef
A discerning chap
Leers at how he's going to cook
That special meal he likes
In which pot shall he make his Asian delight
No one goes near
When he's about to take a turn
Stay calm little chef!
It's only an onion
It won't make you cry
If handle it properly
Make no mistake
We'll Stand well back and

In the Life of a Learner
In thee life
You had brought down your enemies,
With the sharp, pointy knife,
That you'd be wonder all the centuries.
In thee life,
You'd be there to learn the way,
Or die trying,
You'll somehow learn a day.
In thee life,
You'll see;
What life has taught you to be,
A malarkey laddie,
Whose never stop trying.
In thee life,
You're always a learner,
Don't stop and Fyffe,
as

sage (is) acumen,
a life force calms = meaningful;

The Learner
I have never been to school;
And people call me a fool,
I didn't know how to read and write;
So people call me the dumbest mite.
They said I'm good in asking food;
But I never done anything good,
So I asked, how will I know what is good?
If you never teach me how to do good?
They laugh

Just a Learner
just a learner
In life I don't worry
But only live to the best of
My ability through
The connection of nature
In life I don't worry
Because I learn to
Understand
That nothing last forever
Apart from legacy
In life I don't worry
For I understand the power of
Virtue and tomorrow never fails
Me when am patience
In life I

The Slow Learner
Pity me not because the moon is on wane
Remember when was full lighting the night
Pity me not for thinnning of dark blonde mane
That has gone from beauty to cotton light
Pity me not for energy deplete
Now time to snuggle between warm soft sheets
What's lacking in energy gain in sleep
With love beside me snoring to same beat
With

Learner
He sits silently
listening to what
the economic teacher
says
They talk about
monopolics and
public pressure
He looks interested
As he fiddles with
the black-inked pen
in his hand
I can see he
wants to learn
everything he can.
