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?

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.
