School Transportation is a poem that is inspired by the news stories of bullies and beatings that occur on school buses. I must admit I had my own fair share of memories to draw from in creating this poem today. Poem inspired by the 13 random words provided (in blue) by the following twitter followers:
@SnarkRemarks (ameliorate), @Piratelover22 (coy), @rockalong (toil), @KathrynVercillo (flapper), @R_Arblaster (disjointed), @anefallarme (differentiation), @saurabhgolu91 (friends), @TrinaMb (obnoxious), @JoeManna (Vitriol), @JeffHicks (serenity), @rikardkjellberg (ponder), @RemBeatZ (transportation), @filigreegirl (abeyance)

School Transportation

No serenity found in public transportation
traveling to school a disjointed dangerous toil
mean spirited, obnoxious coy vitriol taunting ensues
chastised for fashion choice as if you were a flapper
differentiation between friends and foes a blur
you quickly ponder a way to ameliorate the situation
as a desperate attempt for abeyance, you flag the driver
however, ignored and unnoticed you find yourself helpless
just another days struggle that repeats time and again
on the way to place that is supposed to foster learning

The Dedicated Teacher

One big united school, seeking perfection
testing threshold goals forever to be met
A magnificent teacher stands out among the rest
like an ultraviolet ray in a black light

Teacher sprouting a serpentine Fu Manchu
an almost avarice like strive for success
dealing with the occasional irksome issues
a plethora of tomfoolery by prankster kids

Band-aiding funding issues like a paraplast
decisions made by parsimonious ruling democracy
he does all that he can to help kids thrive
like a splendid flock of Bullfinch under his wing
