Sestina

Quite often it seems we tell kids, it’s best to be first
They sign up for fun; parents, it seems, for the fame
Whether it’s academics or sports, why not just let kids thrive?

Create environments for learning and fun needed to thrive
Nurture with affection and love; be their springboard first
Build the foundation they will need to handle future fame

A solid foundation will ensure an easy adjustment to fame
In any circumstance, self- assurance makes anyone thrive
Teach them, the game of life is not won by coming in first

Good character first, may lead to fame in which anyone can thrive

The Poem That Answers Itself

Why should I care,
     About Academics?
     School?
     Saying the same thing twice?
There be no reason, 
     To try in school,
          When failure is nothing less than host, 
     To try with a hobby, 
          When no one reads your
               Stories
               Poems
Why should I care
     About love?
     About aspirations?
     About, poetry?
No one listens, 
     Nor cares.
Confidantes 
     Fail
     Leave you behind
     Are self-absorbed
          and you, nothing less than giving.

                      ~top student
             ~excelling
      ~prudent
  ~compelling

whispered those words sweet
my soul adored my heart “gold”
yet in reality no rhythms beat
no love to call my own to hold

it’s  like  my
self-love         is
s    l    o    w    l    y
falling            a p a r t

in my academics I excel
* like * gilded * stars * within * a * hollow * sky *
yet to myself I cannot tell
of love far nigh
