the symphony of a school

 School

The buildings are flooded

Youth and change

Minds are growing

In different ways

Imaginary music

floods the halls

for there is no greater orchestra

than within middle school walls!

With all the change

And the excitement about

Grades

Friends

Teachers

so much to shout!

the rush is all but a frenzy

so hear me out

pause it all

run with the rain

even if it might not halt its fall

Autumnal Feelings

 Autumnal Feelings

"The seasons will change," I explain

As the leaf drifts away from its summer home

It shan't feel pain

It lays on the ground waiting for...

Someone

    Anyone

        Someone

Or it waits for the wind to carry it

As we exclaim, "there she blows!"

But wait, who goes?

A child- a baby- with the cheerful smiles

And the active, wiggling toes

He picks up the leaf and runs steadfast

To place his special leaf for everyone to glance

The leaf feels nothing but important joy

For it was deemed important by an autumn boy

Happy First Day of Autumn!

Dedicated to little brother!

Summer Wind

 Summer Wind

Summer Winds Down

Into Autumn Breeze

Did summer really rush as fast as the hum of a bee?

Did it pass like the lull of a slow leaf's fall?

All seasons change and pass

Even the most memorable of them all

Autumnal days wind over the summer haze 

Hath school days wind upon

Crinkly Colorful Leaves carpet the front lawn

The sun dies down

The grass loses its green

Our majestic Summer King has given up the throne;

All hail our Autumn Queen!
