A Lune for the Weather

 

Sun rises early

Wind picks up

Dark clouds cover up

Grey

Grey is boredom

Like another cloudy day

Like unblemished cement

Like a blank screen

With nothing to say

Ice Cream Truck

Did you hear the ice cream truck?
Sounds of warm weather
Summer dreams

Maslow's Hierarchy

Can I really expect you
To care about algebra
When you are worried about
Where you will live?

 

Slug Fest

I don't think
This is what they meant
By slug fest

Self-portrait of Mrs. Bauer



I am the teacher who laughs
And my students laugh with me
Because learning should be fun
Not this scripted curriculum
Not that box of materials
Come,
Let's do an experiment
Let's read under our desks
Let's write poems of silliness
Childhood is too important
To only learn how to take tests

Night Poem

 

Nightfall
Absence of sun
Dozing, dreaming, sleeping
Period of rest and renewal
Bedtime

Lyric Writer's Woe

Since this morning
I have had
Other people's music
Going through my head
Chicago's Beginnings
Message in a Bottle
Journey's Don't Stop
Since You've Been Gone
I just want to hear
My own words

Spring Discovery

The high water bill
The marshy place in the lawn
We have sprung a leak

Voyage Home

Another journey

Navigating the unknown

Will I meet a companion?

Will I go alone?

Following trail without map

Traveling to find my home



 

 

 

Marketing Promises

New shampoo bottle
Hoping to end bad hair days
I believe the hype

Sprint

I heard the sound of the gun

And I started to run

Kept going until I had won

Now this race is done.
