Kids have gone back to school,
Raindrops tease the deserted pool,
Tree shadows flicker on the wall
As the wind sings the rhythms of the Fall.
Sharpen your eyes,
Identify ghosts in human disguise.
Watch the musicians play
As leaves start to decay.
Sail on the prolific ocean
While pumpkins go ripen.
Toast your days with flying fantasy,
Prepare for the season’s abundance and intimacy.

–Someone Is Special–
An awesome poem. My granddaughter is loving school. She is K4 this year.
Feels just right to me…
I like the back to school poem. It identifies the feelings around this time of year very nicely.
I love this– especially the 2nd line w/ the teasing raindrops. It forms a wonderful image in my mind. Nicely done!
