We're here 5 days a week
8 hours a day.

lane.
Every day I meet the hawker crying, 'Bangles, crystal
bangles! '

2. Pick out an outfit that will blend in with the latest trends and won't make you a laughing stock of the school more than you already are

Metropolitan poetry here and there,
In the park sit pauper and rentier,
The screaming children, the motor-car

Which art hath lodged within his hand- must laugh
By precept only, and shed tears by rule.

A young man of strong body, weakened by hunger, sat on the walker's portion of the street stretching his hand toward all who passed, begging and repeating his hand toward all who passed, begging and repeating the sad song of his defeat in life, while suffering from hunger and from humiliation.

When night came, his lips and tongue were parched, while his hand was still as empty as his stomach.

Many times I don't even have it on my mind.
School is good, and it is bad, there are times I think that I'm
going to mad.

To every teacher, to every student
there's a special bond.

Once it was the colour of saying
Soaked my table the uglier side of a hill
With a capsized field where a school sat still
And a black and white patch of girls grew playing;

"Our only lesson is to learn to suffer."

- YOUNG.

Neither the motivation should be confined to word nor to book. Many things might have been written in book but so long as it is not put into practice or use, it can’t deliver the result. You might have experienced number of times that actual result can be had only after putting self before everything. The sales men may increase the sales by many folds but that may just not be the reality. It is performed under forced situation. It is doesn’t speak of any motivation, but only a consideration,


Think of commandant in battle field, surrounded by powerful enemy, and he is leading battery of disgruntled and demoralized personnel under his command? His final words or vision only may save them from disastrous situation or near annihilation. His powerful motivation or enthusiasm only may take them to a safety without loss of lives.

Show me your name, what does it mean

A BEST FRIEND-Makes a lunch trade with you even if he doesn't love peanut butter and jelly.
A BEST FRIEND-Notices you standing alone by the fence and invites you to play hockey with the rest of the class.

A BEST FRIEND-Puts chalk in the teacher's eraser so you're not the only

to walk at ease. At ease
in light frocks they walk the streets
to while the time away.

Didn't do anything ordinary extraordinarily well either,
But I still had an extraordinary day today
Just being happy for no reason at all- besides the fact

Today has hurt my heart even more.
The autumn wildgeese have a long wing for escort
As I face them from this villa, drinking my wine.

Lined up on the steps of the school,
Offering my insatiable young sight
The seductive vision of your harmonic figure;

A school room of sullen tears,
A little girl lost beneath
A blanket of rejection and fears

It brings integrity and feeling of brethren.
It refers to both building and pupils,
Pupils sickle lesson as farmers yield through sickles.

From every sense of shame and virtue wean'd;
In lies an adept, in deceit a fiend;

If I walk out my house I’ll get hit by a brick

I spent yesterday weeping.
I have not cried very often in my life.
I did yesterday...
Watching our terrified children run from a school building that had been splattered with blood and fear and bodies- -
...

Watching the children walking along the road to and fro their schools
My heart leaps high wishing to join their merry-making, cheerful funs
Realising I am not made of flesh and blood my poor heart retreats in dismay
Here on the veranda of this textile shop I have been in deep penance for long

In uniform with school-bag, looking cute!
We could not walk or run and had a slate;
We learnt to read and write and be not mute.

We have to learn
We have to strive harder

The Last Winter Storm

Every year, at the scheduled arrival of March,
Mother Nature became seasonally enraged,
...

The Milk-and-Water School
Alas! she would not hear my prayer!
Yet it were rash to tear my hair;
Disfigured, I should be less fair.

Counting down before his mind starts clicking.
The tap turns on, water dripping
As slowly as a dead man living.

all creatures great and small
all things wise and wonderful

One wants a teller in a time like this

One's not a man, one's not a woman grown
To bear enormous business all alone.

In separation from the Friend, there is a cut waiting to be
stitched.

The schoolboys still their morning ramble take
To neighboring village school with playing speed,
Loitering with passtime's leisure till they quake,
Oft looking up the wild-geese droves to heed,

What greater grief
Anguish and despair
Than loss of precious children?
...

A good friend will bail you out of prison

Thank You Mom-for holding me in your loving arms every time I cried.
Thank You Mom-for changing my diaper and singing me to sleep.
Thank You Mom-for holding my hand as you walked me onto the bus my first day of school.
Thank You Mom-for trudging through the snow each winter to watch me perform in the school play.

All astride upon the back of old grey Dobbin?
Jigging, jogging off to school, down the dusty track -
What must Dobbin think of it - three upon his back?

Swift swallows sailing from the Spanish main,
O rain-birds racing merrily away
From hill-tops parched with heat and sultry plain
Of wilting plants and fainting flowers, say--

rising together against the sky
black wings shimmering in the heat

Who seek the same from me and chose!

Of common life, where, crowded up pell-mell,

But why should I be fond of such?

The cows that graze there are slowly poisoned

Under the eyes grows there your eyes are like those flowers

You had a bookish face
I had a school bag in my hand.

Clad in long white pants
Folded ‘n Tucked up at ankle
Seated on mate's cycle bar
Arrived he, at our village school

Why is it that Poetry has never yet been subjected to that process of Dilution which has proved so advantageous to her sister-art Music? The Diluter gives us first a few notes of some well-known Air, then a dozen bars of his own, then a few more notes of the Air, and so on alternately: thus saving the listener, if not from all risk of recognising the melody at all, at least from the too-exciting transports which it might produce in a more concentrated form. The process is termed "setting" by Composers, and any one, that has ever experienced the emotion of being unexpectedly set down in a heap of mortar, will recognise the truthfulness of this happy phrase.

For truly, just as the genuine Epicure lingers lovingly over a
morsel of supreme Venison - whose every fibre seems to murmur "Excelsior!" - yet swallows, ere returning to the toothsome dainty, great mouthfuls of oatmeal-porridge and winkles: and just as the perfect Connoisseur in Claret permits himself but one delicate sip, and then tosses off a pint or more of boarding-school beer: so also -

A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!
Rose plot,
Fringed pool,
Ferned grot--

Spring surprises you with her
Sudden appearance adorned with
Super colours of vibrant nature;
She glides down like a fascinating bird,

In Spoon River
And tried to get me to drop Confucius for Jesus.

It was funny in my childhood to be missing.
Hardly anyone is there who is never lost
Hardly anyone is there who has never l come back.
Likewise playing such hide and seek game

The Lyrics of this life are ~

Written on every petal,
Sung by butterfly and beetle.

Ever since I set foot in school for my new academic year
It looks like luck has abandoned me
My bus came late to pick me up for school
So guess who is punished, me!

Cold nights outside the taverns in Wyoming

The schools marched in procession in happiness and pride,
The city bands before them, the soldiers marched beside;
Oh, starched white frocks and sashes and suits that high schools wear,
The boy scout and the boy lout and all the rest were there,

Together we came along, at least
for recollection of those yesteryears
from the time of our high school year
they say that year was the best
...

The wind comes whispering to me of the country green and cool--
Of redwing blackbirds chattering beside a reedy pool;
It brings me soothing fancies of the homestead on the hill,
And I hear the thrush's evening song and the robin's morning trill;

It was only yesterday, when you were small,
I used to hold you in my arms.
Now you're older and out of school!
Yes, it was only yesterday,

At the School,

I serve so many-
...

We are little children,
That go to Sabbath school,
To hear of our Redeemer,
Likewise the golden rule.
...

NOT 'mid the world's vain objects that enslave
The free-born Soul--that World whose vaunted skill
In selfish interest perverts the will,
...

We see difference,
we see hate.
Go to school, discriminate.
Fight the enemy, hide the scars.
