Array ( [sid] => 109765 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Classroom Reminiscing [time] => 2005-11-15 00:21:09 [hometext] => I was sitting in my classroom for my Native Studies seminar, saw a broken piece of chalk, dust on the floor, and a 5 gallon pail with a garbage bag inside... and i wrote this. [bodytext] => Broken chalk - half of whole -
dust settled, awaiting,
swish of steps to lift.
Relaxed slumber,
hiding dreams,
dying to choke throats - fill lungs -
with dry school memories.

White 5 gallon pail:
like at home on the farm;
we'd shovel feed until wholly coated,
then bear the burden of beasts to the barn.
It rests protected thinly
from the age-old garbage,
the waste products of a mind,
rejected ideas,
and confirmed failures of red. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 455 [topic] => 44 [informant] => waos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )

truly poetic..
to conjure these words
from that which inspired you..
is in itself..brilliant-

extremely well written and very idealistic.
5 on this from me.
