A Small Boulder

Posted on by Standard Respond

a big brown cow thundered towards me

a small boulder on a set path towards me

by me again

 

the worst enemy was not the cow

I turned around and saw his big red face

I let them by me again

 

cow’s hooves were thudding on the ground

they were as scared as I was

he yelled at me and others

Retaliation just makes it worse

 

my sandwich

5 minute break

Back in the coral

 

The smell of the wild flowers

the scent of spring

wafted through the air

only thing that kept me sane

 

leather seat in his truck

Hot, sticky leather seat

His words hit my face like stones

tackled me to the ground

only the first load

Soaking up the knowledge

I am as important to learning as the students
I house the written words and soak up knowledge
Then they wipe me clean...

However, I never forget
I yell out to the students all the facts I know
Learning, laughing, fun

I soak up knowledge I remember all
I am a teachers best friend
I am to learning as legs are to walking 
Learning, Laughing, fun

I Am A Stray Leaf

I am a stray leaf,

somersaulting through city’s,

over mountains,

and into the country

 

I am a stray leaf,

no tree to hold me back

adventurous, athletic, and persistent

 

I am a stray leaf,

looking around corners

wondering…

What’s there?
