I am kind
I am nice
I am smart
I am shy.

I am courageous
I am strong
I am creative
I am curious.

I am generous
I am sensitive
I am loyal
I am studious.

I am confident
I am determined
I am friendly
I am poetic....

Once upon a time, you'd say,
 I was shy each and any day,
Quiet, studious, the mouse,
Writing in end room of the house,
Then I became a teacher
Of tykes, their lay preacher,
Teachers soon lose reticence,
Lead from front, don't sit on the fence!...

Working at looking studious,
  the academic went his way

Pontificating what he didn’t know,
  his students bowed and swayed

Reading only what was duly sworn
  writing safe, within the shelf

To himself was he now smitten blind 
   —an intellectual elf

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)...

Gentleman
               thoughtful honest 
         funny encouraging decent
   sensible practical plausible durable 
         unequivocal noble polemic 
              principled studious 
                     Champion

TALE OF TWO BOYS

he throws his toys ‘cross the room
a-zoom a-zoom
he didn’t get the latest game
his feet bang, bang, bang
like an old-fashioned pop gun
and he wails, slams doors,
hates mama too

a studious boy pets his cat
in from the cold,
Mittens was lost
now found by a soul
who wanted a cat for oh so long

IDEAL SCHOLAR

        Good student glad chap
        Brilliant joyous
        Bright intelligent
        Frolic studious.
                                        
       Nice smart well behaved
       Disciplined zealous
       Ideal scholar
       Being serious.

Sometimes, a first draft of a poem leaves me awed.
It is as if it came as gift from God.
But then when I start to revise
and look at it with more studious eyes,
I see all the places were it's irredeemably flawed,
and I lose all the joy the poem initially brought.
And then, in the trash it goes,
like a hundred thousands other lines ~
of my failed poetry and prose....

Students at Work


See them work!
Studious looks,
Buried in books,
Leaflets flipping,
Binders snapping,
Pencils tapping,
Textbooks slamming,
Nick-knacks toppling,
Back-packs rummaging,
Noses rubbing,
Nail nibbling,
knees flapping,
Foreheads scrunching,
Eyebrows rising,
Lips compressing,
Faces scowling,
Chins supported,
Tongues catapulting,
Coughs echoes,
Work Accomplished!...

The things I've wanted to be
Is a list running to eternity.
Once an administrator,
The head command orchestrator.
Perhaps an artistic brush
To paint life with colors fresh.
Or a singer, a husky voice
To spin golden chord out of noise.
Maybe a poet of ole lore,
Waking magic with words galore.
Nay, shall make a studious nerd;
Soaring above better than a bird.
Oh, what have I become now?
It must be none of the above....

Scientific cat peers out of a steampunk telescopic lens
Designed to specifically see microscopic organisms
Who developed the formula? An inept dog queries.
Professor Kib keeps silent, studying his microbe slides.

Seriously why are you so studious? A tabby lab worker asks.
He is drinking an abomination from a dirty green flask.
Kib rolls his brown glowing eyes, giving a growl and a pitter pat.
His mind too concentrated on success to waste time on this cat....

She sits
She and some
Enlightened in stillness
They face serenity's soft light
In cotton comfort of white
I've laid me down
Some sit 

Solitary surrender
Graces each mellow moment
With tempered voice
Her words sinks in
Suspending super ego
Soul searching seeps in

Freedom floats like birds
Undisturbed, they fly and pass by
The sound of heart beat
Invokes retreat

Himalayan Singing Bowls sound 
Preceded by gong 
Taunya Laya's Studious and outdoor treat is profound.
