School Poems

When I was young
I used to dream
Of a Valentine's message
In the school magazine.

Every year I lived in hope
But did i ever get one?
Nope :( 

Declarations of love
For the pretty girls,
But none for Miss Freckle
With the mad ginger curls.

I didn't like...Read More

A centric couple

Echanging different coloured roses

Holding hands with vice like grip

Earth betwix their curling toes

Beneath a moonlight torn astray

With such so birthed exploding hearts

It even stirs the deaf neighbours

And labours love

Valentine poison arrow breech

Still hidden in the shadowy hall's

Of old...Read More

Against cruel taunts repeatedly uttered
In scornful tones one might use to a dog,
A sensitive child may be defenceless.

At school there may be damage done by those
Who do not wish to show themselves as week,
They do not wish to appear defenceless

Ill-treatment...Read More

 

Remember when you were a wee thing in elementary school?
Just learning to count,the ABC's and the Golden Rule?

Then along came Valentine's Day, cake and oh, that yummy candy.
Exchanging cards was fun and just delightfully dandy.

But then...you and your friend, sadly,...Read More

I know you don’t want to hear it
But one day you WILL 
look up and think, 
“Dammit Mom”
And then notice the rose-gold
Of a sunset

Just like I’m
Always taken by surprise 
At how your eyes
Can change from green 
to dusty gold then...Read More

We had all joy & Jill in school I remember
We had all craze and blaze in college I remember 
Getting my first job I was on cloud nine I remember 
Growing up and old I had a lot of dreams...Read More

(This dog was an angel in a fur coat)


Angels come in all shapes and sizes
this one was full of prizes.
An Easter gift,
oh! so soft and not stiff.
Boys got her at the pound,        ...Read More

Dog cross my path several times
Dog bark all night when there is no fight
Dog jumping up and down the solid roof
Dog is pulling and tearing my rubber shoes
Dog is telling the truth on two feet, 
And dog is listening to...Read More

I stood on the corner this morning
Absorbing the fresh morning air
listening attentively to the morning news
That has everyone so upset and confused
The morning sun is just peeping out
with its orange and yellowish color
Stirring lazy bodies out of bed 
pointing to...Read More

As a child I was called a Tom Boy,
following my twin brother like a shadow,
wherever he went I would tag along,
hanging out with school boys to belong.

Backyard kickball kept us out of trouble,
playing for hours during the summer,
I learned to...Read More

Sometimes I sit and wonder: 
Would our world be on a better path
if in elementary school we paid more attention
to the lessons we learned in math.

I imagine back then we didn’t understand
how those lessons would relate
as we grew a little...Read More

There once was a salesman from Nice
Who'd soak all his work clothes in grease.
He would slide through town
With nary a frown,
Til someone would call the police....Read More

Bully me you, I exemplified archetypal scapegoat

Even as old curmudgeon, aye pucker
and raspily suction toothless mouth
drawing reminiscent guffaws affecting
attempt impersonating plumber
(think unclogging toilet)
please support your local bummer

back in the day one
long haired pencil neck geeks palled
around with another 
hirsute nerd...Read More

I first saw you in the school library.
your dark head was stuck in a book,
trying to get your attention I sat next to you,
you looked up and your blue eyes melted me,
my knees were shaking and wanted to flee.

We had...Read More

It takes a sibling  to  sense her brother’s needs  this day of days when futures are at stake.
Graduation end point,
School of excellence,
marks assigned by dons with cool detachment.
Ray of light, ray of hope, the twinkle in my...Read More

The Mask of Fate
(This poem deals with the Corona Virus. 
It is very intense.)

My kid's school called.  
The college. 
They said that there had been...
a national concern; regarding the Sun. 
No... 
That was not it. 
The man said "Corona"....Read More

Born a year after her crowning, named after the Queen
   My sister had no luck, her life short and mean
Academically and behaviorally in trouble at school
   A royal rebel was 'Liz;' she broke all the rules

Couldn't...Read More

When God created teachers,
He gave us special friends.

You aren’t our mother,
But your support has been just as strong.

When we came to you with silly notes,
You cuddled and praised, even upon awful tommyrot.

When we were into some problem and failed to...Read More

Nine fearsome ghosts 
I learned roam my World
Invisible, tangible as the case might be
Otherworldly, worldly acting as host 
For other things I could not see.

One’s kept in a crypt 
One keeps the watch  
One wanders far
Marching these lands.

One’s held...Read More

Gaia continues running on a Health Platform,
healthy democracy
for wealthy economy
for healthy ecopolitics
for wealthy democratic energy.

The idea of free markets
as those embedded in democratic transactional service
to a local community
Is as old and conservative
as the idea of health
being embedded in a real
organic...Read More

Because he didn't think like them
They said he lost his mind
Because he didn't share their views
They said that he was blind

Because he made the ground his bed
They said he was a dog
Because he ate what nature fed
They threw him in...Read More
