Literacy

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

It Rhymes

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 Days

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

Colleen Laforme

C is for caring
O is for opps
L is for loving
L is for literacy
E is for elected
E is for exited
N is for natural

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

Trying to hard

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

Mild Side of Life

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!

Canada Crazy

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.

Everyday Bliss

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

The Kuttab

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

Premium Member Dolly Parton and Her Dream

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.
Form: Rhyme

Hourglass

I'm trapped inside
This hourglass
I see you watch me
As you pass

You put me here
So here I stand
Sink or swim
In deathly sand

Time means nothing
I turn to stone
Forgotten flesh
And soulless bone

This pointless wait
You'll never free
Me from this prison 
This glass and me

Unlearned Literacy

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

How I Spent Thursday Night

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.

Trial In Complaint by Corruption

Trial in Complaint by Corruption
Without notice of state of emergency regarding homelessness
Poverty law precludes me from prosecution as in definition of rights the slaves literacy is justice.

Premium Member Fluffy Poem

“Alive on the page
Necessary in the mouth”
What dare you say
This poem is about

Righting all wrongs
A civil rights poem
Writing a song
For a sing along 

Is it the speed
Of the best light
Speaking to me
The rest of the night 

Cadence of brilliance 
Dipped in blue ink
Raspberry resilience
Grasping literacy dream

Prof Guru Ghulab Khatri

Four X Four
Talented, mind blowing, stunning
Dareesh maar Khan cunning
Heroic, jolly, scene creator, 
Producer, Director, chief editor
Serious, funny and vocational
Committed, concerned and educational

Africa Was Better

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.
