Yesterday, my brain-space was so null,
It couldn’t have been nuller.
To think, today, I learned so much
From a bird devoid of color!...

Night stars are twinkling
The blackboard sky so alive
Majestic wonder

White chalk vandalizing it
Words and numbers haunting it
Pens scribbling to reflect it
Eraser smudging
Knowledge forever encrypting its life...

Recently

My dreams have been

Scarier than reality

Like nails raking down a blackboard

Not the fluffy happy stuff

You wish you never wake up from...

At last the blackboard I can clearly see
Then whisperes of "four eyes" come to me
My heartfelt joy is turned to tears
I  still remember, after all these years

One 
proud and 
stoic glance 
astride wry smirks
from this Mona Lisa spitting image 
tutor at the blackboard chalk mark  debris 
caused by spurts of 
 bold impish

Received Great Teacher

Received great teacher  from my Lord;
Have written I love her on blackboard;
Sure so pretty;
Will  be  witty,
And seeing her always do look toward.

Your Prudent Student...

In front of a blackboard I walk
Around in my classroom and talk
Of motion and fall,
Gravity on a ball,
My hands and my shirt full of chalk.

Phantasmagorical
forest
and I am lost
in a fog of pink
and orange 
devouring 
blue screams
and wanting
white-tailed 
zenomorps 
leading blackboard 
hearts beating 
in my brain
a sound like quiet....

I seen your life
I seen your faults
all I shall erase.

I seen your errors
I seen the terror
all I shall erase.

For you are the chalk
your life the blackboard
all that you write 
I can make go away 
for I am " The Eraser."...

Her hush rolls like folding scrolls
Gentle breeze, whiffs of anise
Fire, cream puff desire
Soft sorbet, goosebump display
Draw back of kite, lull of light
Descending easel bending
Blackboard slate, forgiveness' weight

Chocolates on the blackboard,
Chocolates on the door,
Chocolates on the teacher's desk,
Chocolates on the floor!

Chocolates in the corridor,
Chocolates in the loo,
We have to call the police -
There is nothing we can do!

Written about 2 years back!...

You done me 
mosaic. 
The rover has landed 
on Mars. 
Will you come 
tonight ? 

Circa.
I was searching 
the white ants 
on the blackboard.
They had drawn 
a map 
of the moon.

I would not 
cry, 
for the fallen tree. 
It had left 
the legacy 
of ropes.

She's written my name in chalk

On the blackboard of her heart

Without a second thought

She could easily brush me off

With eraser in her hand

She's always making other plans

Always with some other man

Whose name is also written in chalk

On the blackboard of her heart...

Computers Never Could Afford

Computers they never could afford;
Students have to use a blackboard;
Marble series;
Love clearies;
Where their each idea out is poured.

A cleary is a see through marble.
Those are the best teachers to
have when you can easily see
through them.

Miss
Arrives
To find that
Her wooden desk
Is covered with apples, flowers and gifts
Birthday greetings were chalked on the blackboard
Miss Jones' students
Adore her
And she
them

Glee 
abounds 
when children’s
antics taunt and 
tease a Mona Lisa spitting image 
tutor with chalk mark birthday ornate scrolls
blackboard heartland 
cascade of 
impish

Kids 
scribbled
birthday notes
on the blackboard
before Miss Jones opened the classroom door.
She frowned to see broken chalk on the floor.
They yelled, "Surprise!"
Tears of joy
filled her
eyes.

his glossy brown eyes
"pizza face"--
red acne scars spreading
like tomato sauce
from his eyes to his chin

the way he solved
those wiggly equations
on the blackboard
like numbers and symbols
poured from his skull

my fingers trembled
snapping photos of him
to keep as mementos
this crush I had on him
that never blossomed...

Notwithstanding, stars must be tall
To separate me from the waking-up of miles.
They glint when there’s no more light at all—
Drawing from my eyes; For on sky’s blackboard,
A p..m. set of chalks, rise in awe
To sketch, dreaming within a child’s hours—
Notwithstanding, stars must be tall
To separate me from the waking-up of miles....
