School Life Poems

WATERED LIFE

Life's no banked river...
Life's roving waves frothing shores...
Life's oceanic...

Considering my What Ifs

I was going to become a teacher
I thought it was my calling

I was young and thought it best
to go to university straight out of high school
before I'd go to teachers' college

Well... things did not go as planned
for better or for worse, who knows
I got sidetracked ended up taking a job
education got shelved for longer than

OF HEARING AND LISTENING: A Senryu Quartet

In human nature,
hearing and listening are
not the same thing:-

You can hear said words
but can not respond to them,
if not listening:-

Ancestrally said,
you not listening is bad;
not caring, is worse:-

Being a wise one,
do not just hear what is said;
understand also:-

BECOMING THE YOU TO BE

Growth is not instant,
Becoming is a process;
Ripening takes time.
Instantly, give God the praise
And thanksgiving, for the time:-

PREGNANT SPRING

Nature's womb is healed,
and birthing seeds have been sown;
renewed life coming:-

SPRING ANEW

Stop hating yourself;
prune away those evil thoughts:
new life blossoming:-

Stages of Life

Embryonic Stage

So comfy and warm
Not feeling a hint of harm
Oh, what’s happening

Birth

Good grief, it’s so cold
O’er and o’er again was told
“Beautiful baby”

Child Age

Play sports, make good grades
Life’s full of adventure days
Hates vegetables

Teen Years

It’s an  awkward age
Parents struggle through  this stage
Just stay sane through it 

Young Adult Years

Leaving home first time
Into unknown, a steep

MEETING LIFE'S CHALLENGES

MEETING LIFE’S CHALLENGES

Hey, don’t you ever be about giving up,
And never be into putting yourself down;
Keep those eyes on the winner’s cup,
And that mind always winner bound:-

Don’t just seek to be good, but well-focused
On being better;
And with this fixed focus, just go on and do
Your very best:-
You must forever remain self-positive and ever be
All together;
Never

IN LIFE'S BALL GAME

Don't be a football,
Thrown and kicked down the field
Like rocks of nature;
Rather, be a bouncing ball
Sowing and reaping life's goals

Footprints

I look back at my footprints,
Which showed my progression.
A better one indeed,
Learning how a life proceeds.
 
Know that yesterday isn't tomorrow.
The past chapter is closed,
A new one might start soon.
Put on a smile and go.
 
True colours comes out
When a problem arises.
A sudden courage appeared to solve
Those one by one, it brought peace.
 
Heart untangled from the ties
Which

Unready

now that things will end
I realise I’m not ready
to do anything

Sad Boys In Class

We sat in class,
Doing nothing new,
As time passed,
Teacher is late! Finish the work due!

Waited there, waited for long,
And someone started tapping his desk,
We all started singing a song,
Our music, it was the best!

Oh wait, soon 15 minutes will pass,
And as the teacher is not here,
Boys BY LAW we can leave this class!
Boys stand up from

Dust To Dust

If your heart was a diamond, perfect and clear,
glittering gleaming like a broken heart's tear,
if lust was coal, dusty and black,
would it make you realize you want to come back?

If music was woven with golden thread
soft... like the locks lay upon your head
I would listen all day... and through the night
I would play it once

School Life

substitute teachers
doodling on brown paper
school trips with boyfriend

Don'T Know, Don'T Care

I swear, my parents act like they were never teens in a pandemic growing up.

I was watching “Perry Mason,” an HBO show set in the 1930s. Perry gets mail out of his mailbox and I think “no GLOVES??” This pandemic has a hold of me.

6:30am  I’m finishing my shower - wrapping my hair in
