Time For School

It's time for school to start again. Children must cease their summer play, to once more pick up books, paper, pen. It's time for school to start again. Parents try to hide a grin. They've been waiting for this day. It's time for school to start again. Children must cease their summer play. Teachers welcome with a smile, students on their first school day, their faces scrubbed and dressed in style. Teachers welcome with a smile, then line them up in single file, to enter in the room that way. Teachers welcome with a smile, students on their first school day. 8/20/15

Kim: Our son recently began as superintendent of the second largest school dist. in our state. We hear a lot about school starting from a little different slant. I hope the students and teachers in your poem are as excited as he is. :o) oldbuck

Thank you for stopping by, Old Buck! This poem is based on my memories of when my sons were young, at least 27 years ago.

You paint a picture with words that bring your memories alive in the reader's mind, and we too can appreciate your world on the first day of school. Emile.
