Premium Member The Last of Miss Last

I was young at age but old enough to recognize cruelty
My eyes watered and my tummy ached 
I was scared and embarrassed 
With wet trousers my tiny thin legs- Shaked 

I had raised my hand to go to the john 
But my fourth-grade teacher, whom I'll never forget 
She wouldn't let me go, why- I don't know?
But I know it was her fault, that I was soaking wet
 
The kids in my classroom stared at me shaking 
Watching me crying, my eyes dripping water 
Who will she not let go next? 
The boy who sat next to me- or somebody's daughter

My mother, may she rest in peace 
Rushed to the school to bring me some dry clothes 
She spoke to the principle in a fiery rage 
That's when all hell broke out, and a firing arose 

That was the last time I saw that mean teacher 
Never again would she teach in that school 
I hope that she learned a good lesson in life 
It's not very nice to be disturbingly cruel

November plays
With rainy moods;
Overcast sky


Audience gathers
Teenagers align;
Protocol dictates


School talk moment
Share the writer's way;
Story persuasion


Curious faces
Sit and stare blankly;
Open box mystery


Play wit and urge
Thirteen-year olds;
"Do what you love..."


Pun with fun factor
Takeaway message;
"Love what you do..."


Exhort tomorrow's crowd
"Dream big. Work on it."
Too late can come too soon


Plant a seed thought
Nurture an idea;
"Work hard to be happy..."


Charm words story
Tale of thoughts happy;
Passion acts out purpose


A day well-spent
Sure poise of voice;
Passion speaking clear


Perfection lives well
Mundane routines veil;
Look beyond bland


Words and visuals
Sensory stimulus;
Heart knows the mind


End of brief tale
Kind applause greets;
Community service heals


Chat with teacher
Check on delivery;
Happy outcomes


Trip here felt good
Sunny weather;
Homebound torrential


Quick meal and rest
Exhausted senses;
Nap to recover

Learn earn return

Learn earn return 

Learn 
Every great man was once a child 
He was once nurtured and  taken care by the parent and his community 
He was thought in school by a teacher
He learn to speak and walk by his own people
Time to time days after days 
He keep growing and keeps learning 
Till he becomes a man 




Earn 
Every man has a process of growth 
After our studies at school 
All we do is work 
All we are faced with is how much to earn 
On this time of life there is no more going back 
Some men earn so richly 
Some men earn so little 
So when you are bless out there remember where you started from 
Don’t forget home 



Return 
After all we learn 
After all we earn 
Home call is always worth it values 
No place like home brother 
So show love to the place you started 
Return to your root after labour 
Reconnect with your love ones 
Don’t let any things to cut you off your home 
Remember every great man was once a child 
So give back to the community who saw you through at young times some 
Returns

I Remember the Days

I remember the days when I couldn’t write, so teacher said I was Bad “your never get 
nuffthing right” but papa said "I Can Fly", "touch the Sky", told me "I’ma Winner and never 
forget that", as he looked in my eye’s as papa had placed me on the kitchen side.

So I can’t write down exactly what I want as am dyslexic but I still write because am a 
Winner and I have the power of overcoming and understanding so I dont let it effect me well 
to a certain degree.

So I don’t really call myself a poet, i'm just someone who like/needs to express themselves, 
test themselves, just happy I can do it for myself

So God bless Mama
God bless Papa 
But
God bless the children that have their own mined.

What is religion?

Dad what is religion, it so confuses me
I know about church is that all it can be?
I sing the songs and listen to stuff
But watching the tele this isn't enough

Sweatheart it's another one of those things
Steeped in tradition with all that brings
We must remember, there are many beliefs
From Buddhists to Islam,  Jewish and Sheikhs 

Dad why if they're good, why do they fight
I see it in history they all think their right
How can killing be good, surely that's wrong
Bombs and murders how can this belong

Sweatheart it's not easy, emotions run high
Maybe they need to reset, ask themselves why
There is good in us all, that is for sure
Maybe we need to expect so much more

Dad so which God is the only true one?
The one true God from when time begun
It has to be wrong to have all this fighting
How can good cause all this evils igniting 

Sweatheart God is in each of our souls
Goodness and friendship must be our goals
Each religion has true love in its heart
Everyone must find it, before they depart

Dad I think I get it,  regardless of religion 
We need to see love and not just Division
Some extremists have forgotten this love 
They are in need of guidance from God above.

A Night Like No Other

He came as a babe in a manger, 
left His Throne and His Glory above,
To bring us His grace and salvation 
and show us the meaning of love

And the angels, they wept, for they knew of the things as a Man upon Earth He must face.
Of the trials, temptations and the meanness of men, just to bring them salvation and grace

They had only a stall in a stable to spare, 
for there was no more room in the Inn,
So our precious baby Jesus was born in the straw, 
for our King, what a way to begin

On a night like no other, it was dark, but bright light, from a star in the sky shown down
on the place in the straw where the baby was lain, 
as if lighting the way to be found.

And the animals drew close to protect and give warmth to this baby so helpless and small,
as if they knew He was special, 
He was born for great things, 
and someday would save us all

And although they were sad, the Angels, they sang, Glory to God in the Highest. 
For they knew who He was, who He was born to be, then that night became still and silent.

And the angles they spoke to the shepherd’s near by and told them to not be afraid, 
for we bring you good tidings and Wonderful News, 
the shepherds fell on their knees and prayed.

Then they followed that star to the stable, 
where the angel had said he would be. 
When they looked on this baby, 
they bowed down in awe, 
for they knew they were seeing their King

Then the wisemen they came from far distant lands 
and they carried their gifts of great worth. 
And they bowed down and worshiped this tiny King, whom they’d awaited so long for his birth

Yes He came as a babe in a manger, 
walked this earth as a teacher and friend,
gave sight to the blind healed the sick and the lame, gave hope to the hopeless and then....

As the angels stood ready to come to His aid, 
one word and they’d rescue this King.
He died on a Hill on a Cross all alone, 
Love, life and mercy to bring.

And that gift that He brought on that night long ago 
as He laid in that manger of hay,
is still offered to all just as it was then, 
won’t you call on His name today

Yes wise men still seek Him 
and Angels still sing. 
And all of creation points the way to our King

Premium Member The Literacy Centre

There are people that come to the Literacy Centre,
They  spend an hour of their time
With someone to help them with knowledge , their difficulties, 
Of lessons not understood.

There are many subjects math,reading spelling and computers
The teacher gives one-to-one instruction with each student
Before something new is given , she makes sure you understand 
Then there are lessons to take home to be done later.

At the Literacy Centre we come to learn and explore new subjects
For anyone with difficulties, somehow we find it easier
It's a place for anyone who wants to improve themselves
No matter who you are, the Literacy Centre is the place for you.


This is where I learnt the use of the computer, and to learn to write some forms of poetry in a town called Wiarton Ontario.

Premium Member Never Be Anxious - Wise Advice

A long time ago
Some wise advice was shared
And it's very helpful for us today.
This is how much the advisor cared.

It's in our human nature
To worry about tomorrow 
Especially if in recent times
We've faced challenges, fear and sorrow.

"Never be anxious about the next day."
Easier said than done, well known.
But the wisdom is clear to see because
"Each day has troubles of its own."

Prior to this the great teacher asked,
And reason on this of you can,
"Who of you by being anxious
Can add to your life span?"

And though troubles may seem endless
And with it quite severe,
It is possible not to be overwhelmed
By unhealthy, anxious fear.

These practical words of wisdom
Came from one who knows the best
How calmer you will feel inside
If you put them to the test.

If we can learn to take
Each day as it comes along,
We will find ourselves surprised at how
Following this advice can make us strong.

(Matthew 6:34, 27)

Want to play the YES Game?

Need a dash of distraction?

Want to play the YES Game?

(A curious voice whispers)

Are you a poet with lone-wolf personality tendencies?

(Answer YES silently, so only you'll know)

Are you a solitary person who loves being alone to write

Are you a rebel who resists conforming to social norms as you view the world

While trying not to conform

Are you independent and self-reliant

Subtly defiant

Do you prefer quality to quantity in your relationships

Less is the best 
More a test
 
Do you highly prize your own choice of experiences and freedoms 

Above all else
Whatever comes next

Are you a deep-thinking and introspective people watcher 
 
A silent viewer 
A wordy reviewer

Or are you a soul searcher looking for your missing link 

In ink

But perhaps your true gift is a supernatural ability 
Like mine

To with time

Explore the unknown realms within yourself and maybe others

And finally 
As a poet 

Are you an
Autodidact

Just like the true me, 
A lone-wolf painter 

Creating through words
Poetic Art

A person who teaches himself or herself, rather than being taught by a teacher

For we aren't we all but Poetry

People That Struggle Don'T Need Pain

Friends came around 
upset and angry 
with their children
a child's fist
flew through the wall

It's your fault 
the child said
It's your fault
my life is like this

several arguments
go into make one
a child's anger because 
of the state
Government rules

stupidity of men
the child was told
you have a right 
to the youth allowance
you have a right to money

for him to get the benefit
required his mother 
to reduce her share
money used to pay rent
now he wanted to waste on lollies

rules of stupidity 
create by men
it's your fault we're like this
the words fall from 
the child's mouth

cutting the mother's heart in two
words twisted by the drunken heart
word corrupted by the use of drugs
a mothers heart broken
exposed to the pain

Did she have faults
yes we all have faults
in the past she had 
a drinking problem
did she create all the problems

No, children also have brains
they decide if they take drugs
they decide if they become violent
they decide if they're going 
to break the law

They decide to avoid school
talk through lessons
decide to cheat
or act the fool
yet sometimes there's a problem
sometimes the eye's can't see the board

sometime the teacher works to fast
and the child can't keep up
sometimes the teacher
also shares the blame
lifes complexity
the challenge is

to unravel the truth
don't look to criticize
or punish
look to build systems
that improve life
people that struggle don't need pain
