A space of stacked stress 

And clothes on the floor  

His room is a mess  

And his life is a chore  

 

Professors didn’t care  

And his grades didn’t either  

He sees the end there-  

Oh time the deceiver!...

People known and unknown, thank you
Poetry Soup of inspiration, thank you
Pudding and pies of gourmet delight, much thanks
Professors of love, I must thank you, too

Giving is living, so I give thanks to you, you, and you.

The professor kept his cats secret because he was a man.
He had been told that cats were women’s pets by cousin Fran.
She was completely off her rocker, as crazy as a loon.
Still he was embarrassed when I saw all of them yesterday at noon....

Limerick: Once Professors of Philosophy

Once Professors of Philosophy
Came together to solve human folly
Each defended his birth
In his school of thought’s worth
So with fisticuffs they split hairs to flee!

I finished it! 
I finished it! 
... It is finally done! 
This rosy, blue, and pink 
Constipating Painting; 
With a lot of focus 
And support 
From my own professors 
And few devoted 
Customers … 
I deleted it 
As soon as I finished it....

One and two makes three, so four and five makes six
This guy's discovered all the mathematical tricks
The professors are all wrong
They really don't belong
Always knew theses guys were thick as a brick

I pen my poem imperfect
Impassioned, yet lacking any of the prose,
That professors preach repeatedly
But not possessed within my posts
I pretend to pass off poetry
To a populace content
And as I penetrate a bit deeper 
my poem becomes palpable at best...

I posted another short story (pieces in this poetry section have to be brief).
I'm just a wordie-birdie, I suppose *shrug*

It's called "Old designs." About a dinner kicking off the 2022-23 university year.

I have a problem which practically the most brilliant professors couldn't solve. I have a ancient gem which most thief's lack to attempt to rob. I have a room with no knob, Perfect scenario, How could they turn a vanished knob? I have a computer chip in me I'm usually up for adopt.

ELVES


Skipping down the street they come  -
Tomorrow’s engineers and psychiatrists,
And journeys out of this world for some,
Or professors at college if dad insists.


But for the moment they’re dressed as elves
And fairy princesses  -
Quite unconscious of themselves
And their minds’ latent recesses....

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
Flop, bottom and Top
Start, End full stop...
Note. Professors don't follow motivational speakers.
Lesson. Maps can only guide those who can read them....

I once behaved. Followed all the rules. Understood what was "normal". My parents taught this, teachers demanded this, principals enforced this. Ministers expected it, society reinforced it, friends tested it, professors challenged it.
Then, poetry became my statue of liberty.


following the rules
and behaving normally
no longer appeals

There’s not much music in poetry now,
the poets have taken an austerity vow,
thread-bare lines, no rhythm or rhyme,
con-man words, artistic pantomime?
Lyricists shunned, unless rocking a mike,
It’s not what the Professors like!
Too confused by much now written,
Like abstract art, the critics smitten
by works that display very little skill,
I'd rather view Andrew Wyeth’s hill....

Another workday
at the community college
    I taste the 
day as it unrolls
          Students, professors walking 
around
   Equations on a board
    Dull day 
Bu suddenly - a flash of poetry on the internet enlightens!
   Words are so powerful 
If carefully wrought
  Life can kick on down 
But poetry can lift one 
    into new realms of thinking 
     New dawns, new loves
Poetry - peace - energy - joy!...

Dedicated to all teachers in the world, inclusion of lecturers, professors et al

T rained to train
E mbellished wits shelled in distinction
A lpha of acumen, Omega of brains
C onfetti of efforts contract into a porringer
H oisted hood, encompassing passion
E lectrifying zeal melt into èclat
R unners up tarring the trail of education
S aviors of persons ridden in faux pas.

Professors found a haven in academia
    a safe port in the storm of big business' toxemia  
  As meaningful as writing articles for encyclopedias
    as daring as interning for social media... 
 
  So now Professor's young charges want 'safe spaces'
    far away from the slug-it-out world of rat races
  Let me prove my point, get down to actual cases
    to ensure I've covered my derriere and other places...

I survived a week..
a week in college.
This, I take as a great achievement.
I met fascinating people,
who seemed to take me in as one of their own,
professors from across the globe,
Things about me I wanted to forget,
already in the past,
as I forge a new identity...
as I learn from my mistakes,
and take a step towards my future...
I keep my fingers crossed, that the next 4 years,
will be as beautiful as the week that went by....

The Foreign Student

By Elton Camp

Ahamed’s command of English wasn’t so good
But to make a fine impression, he did all he could

He walked up to one of his professors in the hall
It was the South, so he nicely said, “Howdy y’all.”

“To be a member of your class is a great delight.
I overheard some students praise you last night.”

“They said you’re so smart, you don’t have to try.
It just comes naturally for you to be a wise guy.”...

My mission for today
is to be kind to stupid people,

by which I mean, not the uneducated,
but 'woke' teachers, professors,
all self-serving experts, and miscellaneous
radical eggheads.

They need a donkey to care for,
for donkeys are smart
and like dogs
they will offer them life lessons.

If the donkey occasionally kicks them,
out of an excess of love,
then I would not laugh,

just smile, and hopefully,
not in any condescending way....

When you meet some professors 
of philosophy, theology 
and psychology 
Who are love failures 
You can ask why?
So why? 

When you meet some top leaders 
Who lost governing networks 
Because of love pressures 
You can ask why ? 
So why? 

Loving,  
Being loved,
Being rejected, 
Falling in love, 
Love failure, 
Are  titles on some book covers 
In some world libraries 
Written by some love  victims. 
Read them for more answers

when the mind is taken hostage
when the priests and professors outrage
something throbs with truth deep in the heart

when what you feel is as real as the devil
when the unreal is truth because of what i feel
facts and faith frolic in the silences of the heart

love of any kind bypasses the mind
loving with all that's within is but to bypass the skin
hail organ of four mansions and never-ending art

(c) Recycled from a 2005 publication. New & Improved, I hope. Shalom!...

On the radio: "plants have both beauty and intelligence!"
Her University professors were adamant:
"If you want beauty, rather than biology,
Why not transfer to art, or art history?!"
Lord, do forgive our experts, professors ...
Unwilling to teach as DEEPLY as C. S. Lewis, Tolkien, holocaust survivors ...
And trees: unstinting with shade, space for critters, flowers, fruit, air for me!
Never sulking, whining, withholding love: forgiving our poisoning spaces interminably...

Immeasurable is the growth possible in being understood
An acorn takes decades to produce usable hardwood
A pupil of hard lessons am I, just as anyone else should
Professors in my life range from classroom to hood
Each of them instrumental in looking past evil for good
But none have ever fully grasped, what I've withstood 
I'm human, I make mistakes just as anyone else would
I'd take them all back along with others' pain if I could
When axes swing, integrity will be left where I stood...
