Poem 103- A surprise climate

A surprise climate

Expect the worst behaviour and consistently be
Surprised at how bad it can get
And shock as the wind blows
The rain seizes
And the temperate climate
Of learning sets in
Rest in the cold forest
Until its safe to emerge
With your thermals on
The river tundra
Your cousin's in Australia
All contribute to the map
Of love I grow for you
Whisper comments, funny anecdotes
And surprising factual knowledge
Just be nice a moment longer
Engage a little deeper
Give me questions only an authority
Could answer and allow me to
Give the attention and care
Hidden behind other children
And mezzuzot
I could be a surprising ally
And you could change the climate
Of discord and your
Bad reputation

Poem 102- Nothing fancy. nothing wizzy

Nothing fancy, nothing wizzy

Don't put on any sound effects
Picture will only confuse them
Anything fun will be too much
This isn't " The Dead Poet's Society"
No captain my captain
No wrists
No knees
Don't laugh with them this isn't meant to be funny
Simple is the best way, don't try to be clever
You're not clever
You're not ready
Take this responsibility anyway
And I'll block every attempt you make to use it
Don't rest your bones, talents and insecurities
It's not about flash- talented or not
Its about an easy life and substandard practice
Disguised as outstanding
Track track track
No trains arrive
No training occurs

Poem 101- Time to like

Time to like

There's not enough time to like
There's not enough intimacy to share
I only love you when its timetabled
And my time is just to rare

I don't have sufficient minutes to like you
Yourself only held my gaze in the short term
I've too much to do, too much fun to have
And an existentialist journey to keep firm

Your excessive free minutes repel me
No care if your busy or not
Just string along, just play along
'Til I work out if I lost what I got

No words of preparation, no sense
Just ending and sips of tea
All you know is I'm done
And I know you don't want me
