The Wand
The Wand
I rode the bus they pointed at
The cheese bus
The little one
My teacher said I could get
Gold stars
if I behaved
I didn't get many
One day while I was in the corner
Time out, again
She gave me a pencil
Yellow No. 2
and said
It's a wand
Write what you feel
I use my wand here now
I like it because I get
Gold stars
When I don't behave
Lots of yellow here too
Same kind of bus I guess

Thanks for the read tornado, and you're right this precious chaotic thing is all too short ... Better to enjoy it rather than damn it.

That being said I liked your poem you used your words wisely and in a very consise way bringing us all back to THAT corner.

Thank you for the read catlady and more importantly your feedback. Strange thing is - once we become adults "that corner" a place of solitude and escape from all, is one of the things we crave most.

Thanks for the feedback Rain ... This was largely a reflective piece - I was a bit of a hot mess early on in school lol ... then I thought about all the yellow in school ... Pencils & stars; as well as the banners here - with black lettering - just like the buses.
