Schools Out

In city parks,

Tranquility breached

Only by Resonance

Of metropolis life,

 

Students once

Besieged,

Minds gripped –

determined,

 

Fresh faces

Gathering,

Emblazoned

Expressions,

 

Filter out

Revision,

Left for

Another time,

 

Treasured days

Monopolize

Smiles...adrift

On adolescence,

 

Midst

Summer flora

Drowsy passions

Interweave,

 

Soothing breezes

Exhale sobriety

To whirlwind minds

Now school's out.

Hi, Jenny, though I don't go with the concept of 'Karma', I liked the feel in your poem of a lovely weather half term, and the quietness of the park for those relaxing from exams and revision (as were two of my granchildren and a youngster in our church here) with the flowers, the distance from the noise, and the soft breeze. Last week seemed to be good weather for them to have a proper break and refresh. Rhiannon

On adolescence,

this reminds me so much of the calm before the storm of exams. Beautifully put

Hi Rhiannon,

I agree with you about the word Karma, so have changed it to Tranquility, I think it reads better now.

Glad you enjoyed this poem and thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Jenny.

Glad you liked those lines Di,

All the pressure of hard studying, youngsters need some form of release. I tried to convey that in this poem.

Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you.

Jenny.

doesn't seem that long ago, how the summer holidays lasted forever, then didn't.
