Short Literacy Poems

What is the state of the language?
How should we use the words?
How much can we elaborate
Before we're dismissed as nerds?...

LILY

Lily loved literacy
Inside every book of poetry
Lost in flowing lyrical prose
Yielding, yearning liberally

Nun One to thee,
Hilarious, you see,
Faith and literacy,
Plus fantasies,
Hex One, pink lace,
Inertia and grace,
Is it Vatican hour,
With our chick power?...

School day memories,
Were Maths and literacy,
Did compound interest, you see,
Before decimal currency,
Had no calculators, 
Used our brains, good for later!...

FORGOTTEN:
callow youth
literacy learnt
a remote childhood
dark nights at play:
meadow flowers
hooters and the
school bell
bonfires
snowball fights
rusty bikes......

Clever in my literacy 
Impaired in my itinerary 
Noted for variety 
Daunting in my propriety 
A jaunting of notoriety 
For wanting serenity 
exempted from purity
Quaint in obscurity...

Maybe this is enough for me,
Reading, writing and literacy,
With craft and friends to greet,
Soon enough for coffee we'll meet,
No need for fuss and strife,
I walk on the mild side of life!...

I am Canada crazy
For  canadian literacy.


Take me to Canada;
I wish to meet Brenda.

The city of Richard,
Today poetic orchard.

Mesmeric Maurice-
My daily jollofrice.


Take me to mystic Rose,
Incredible poetic Muse....

Ah, this is everyday bliss,
Fave author's new book, a kiss!
There are some people like me,
Who read the end first, tee hee!
Then unfold the plot's mystery,
In my book nook for literacy,
Daily reading time is bliss,
Open a new book, do I kiss?...

digits, emojis, abcs
compose a code
an irregular ode
void of literacy

cursive, capitalization, punctuation
go old school
immediate mass communication
has no rule.

how we connect
changes with time
words can’t reflect
your heart and mine...

Rigid and small in dunam
Revelations glued into baldam
Literacy filled amalgam

Inherited from its predecessor
Abram the Hanif ancestor
The legacy of pilgrim Lordor

Revealed command “read”
The order was repeated by lead
Coupled Shafa than ennead...

One room cabin born, wrote a song at age of five.
Dreamed big, prayed hard, had intense drive.
Sang with Porter Wagoner’s band,
Put books in millions of children’s hands,
Imagination Library, a culmination of Dolly’s Dream.
For enhancing literacy in Tennessee, she is the queen....

C+ literacy



                                       a name we can't say

                                             she remains

                                       too much to handle

When I read your poetry
I grow in hope and literacy
I feel to you close
As a pod and green pea
I want to know 
What you are saying

I learn new words
And see new lands
Of view points heard
On holding hands
As we unite
Purple poets of heart
The colors of royalty
For amethyst art....

UNLEARNED LITERACY!
  -Dharga Nagar Safa

My mother is old but with a good vision,

She reads papers and writes with a pen in a fashion,

She was counted  a LITERATE in all desks,

She didn't  learn computer literacy and away from the computer discs,

What does she now in her new records of accurate?

AN ILLITERATE!!!...

I’m just an innocent poem

	roses are red that kind of stuff


Oh well then are the thorns

	male or female or what


Does critical literacy enhance

	the fragrance of beauty


How many isms hide in a flower

	are petals translucent


Fertility without borders

	blameless conception

Night’s wings are silent swift, fleeing as Verse 
dresses in red silk, luring away a mind
meant to finish preparations to nurse
literacy in the youth of mankind. 

Mental acrobatics (and good balance)
fail as midnight slips by, stealing away
psychical worksheets unacknowledged chance
to increase children’s prowess in word play....

AFRICA WAS BETTER
Signs of fantasy
Creeping me into ecstasy
Sad signs of destruction
Sinking me by pollution
Signs of good forestry with herbs that cure
Destroyed by fallacy
No way by natural creation
That stings this destruction
To make selfish currency
For our literacy
We sink into destruction.

Africa was better and fine
When greed had not come to dine....

The planet doesn't need more successful people
it needs peacemakers, healers, restorers,
storytellers and lovers of every kind
It needs people who live well in their places
people of moral courage willing to join the fight 
to make the world, habitable and humane
Qualities that have little to do with success
 as we have defined it to be. 
?? David W. Orr, Eco Literacy...

Lingering among the stacks
Interval of serenity, a luxury to
Borrow a world, then bring it back
Riches of printed page, once few
Are carried throughout the community
Requiring only a card to belong
Young and old both given opportunity

Lending literacy to growing minds, strong
Out of many streets, they share the room
Vaulted ideas have a place to bloom
Encyclopedias of adventures to unpack!

A tiny waist
Imaginary breast

Empower
Don't deflower her

Give her book
Not dick

Care for her lessons
Not her menses

Send her to the classroom
Not your bedroom

Give her book
Not dick

She needs literacy
Not early pregnancy

Education
Not ejaculation

A sense of honour
Not prolonged labour

A better future
Not vesico******l fistula

A pen is all she needs
Not a ***** nor kids

Save the girl child's pride
Don't make her a bride....
