Ocean Waves

ocean waves rush in
like rambunctious preschoolers
at morning recess
eager to entertain you
in goofy games of pretend

School
Recess
Run outside
Playing with my friends
Tether ball, Hopscotch, Jump rope
First we learn then we burn all our energy

Solitary Confinement

Haven of rest
A quiet tranquil recess
Balmy cove
My Solitary retreat
Hovel where nature calmly unfolds
Resuscitating faint soul

His Future Went To Swim

His future went to swim
by shores of Lake Wisdom
Now he is in shark’s stomach
shouting for rescue squad
not aware they are in recess

Recess

beneath the slide's shadow where lunchboxes blossomed— mango pickle the sweetest bite was always another's

Teacher At Recess

Time Out! It feels so good
To sit in the sun,
And breathe in the air.

Birds sing! Warm air is balmy...
I smell the flowers,
And I don’t have a care.

Premium Member Hooray Inside Recess

the children all cheer

there will be no indoor recess

hooray rain they yell

glad to be inside

watching their inane U-tube

indoor children now

Premium Member dark musty shed

dark, musty old shed
in the far corner of the school playground
another recess
transfixed 
by the dark texture of the wood
all at once
alone
and home

Premium Member Recess Is Over

as the school bell rings
children are shrieking with glee

    recess is over.

          a sudden rain of bombs leaves
          the playground deathly silent
war

Premium Member A Slight Kerfluffle

     testimony that disrupts
       proceedings it interrupts
     in a courtroom liable to erupt… 

       from a recess abrupt
       order is anon plucked

Decided

Decided ,  I , I won't assess
To what the point in time
I will had found
Being or working active and employing the recess
The true solution of the process this of mine

Premium Member The Greatest Adventure of All

no physical adventure
can hope to compare
to the adventure of imagination
verdent green vines of ideas
lurk deep in the recess of my dendrite highways
waiting to surprise me

Church

Dark recess of the arched church
Light filtering through the windows
Spirit flowing towards God

Holy trinity blessing the soul above the altar

For the contest 'Praise Pariku'

Premium Member Steampunk Mama

Steampunk Mama with a zing in her step
Did a twirl and a kick, she was full of pep.
Her clothes were traditional, her look was grand.
She was in charge of a gear and wheel recess band.

Days of Marbles

Days of marbles

where recess

would find us

in the old school yard

gathering around

the circle we had made,

hoping we would fill our

bag full, before the bell rang.

Premium Member Smile In The Isle


to those living in lonely recess
where all agonies they repress
be a friend in their isle

under bleak sky their broken hearts lie
take them onto cloud nine to fly
see they flash sparks of smile

Premium Member First Kiss

there is nothing like the taste of a first kiss
the sweet smell of bubble gum while still in the mouth
while hiding behind a trash dumpster in kindergarten at recess
kissing the boy of your dreams at age five

A Test

Hidden in the recess
Developing within the walls
A system to educate 
A system that evolves
Statistically a witness to charts and scales
The beginning of the grading towards judgement
To pass or to fail

Premium Member Teachable Moment

Recess is over. It's time for class
   What's the kid got there
      --A bug in a glass?

Think now, teacher
   Is your class boring, perchance?
      This kid's really interested
         ~ Here's your big chance!

Bane of Acquisitions

In its whisperings and articulations 
A searchlight into that hidden recess
The bane of acquisitions 
Becomes the flight from humility
On which freedom rests 
Shall we render benefaction of such
Crude and insidious notions.....

Happy Hour

It's Recess, or whatever 
He calls his downtime.  God's 
at play in the sky, bowling popcorn 
balls of cumulus against the walls 
of a candy sky.  He does not wear 
a long white beard, or flowing 
robes. He's shaved, and
got his rompers on.

Premium Member Love Song

Soft ripples, carried on
Gentle piano caresses-

Tilt my mind towards
Happy times, filled with
Feather touches in my memory

Like a pleasing smile,
Received from a loved one-
Warming every recess of my soul

Premium Member Kindergarden Romance

recess was more than play

for two youngsters in love

hiding behind the dumpster was the place to stay

everyday there's where we'd go

for one more kiss

and a little less recess

Premium Member Recess

Flying Sailing Soaring
    Crying Laughing Roaring
 
  Itching Twitching Scratching
    Planning Plotting Hatching

  Hustling Bustling Tussling
    Day and night, night and day

  Set aside each segue for a kiss
    Recess, you can't afford to miss

Limerick : Once a Leftist Stuffed-Shirt taught class

Once a Leftist Stuffed-Shirt taught class
He stuffed students’ drains with high-class grass
The girls during recess
Gave him ample access
Now hangs out with big-funding Top-Brass.
