On the Blackboard

The day i learn of the position of stars

Instead of those who won a war to write about it

Is the day i will get an education

The moment i sing in languages

Instead of struggling in books

Is the second i will be enlightened

The hour i will spend dancing

Instead of watching a ball bounce

Is the instance of my own free expression

In a dream 

I will draw at youth

To one day compose a symphony of sound

Unconfined by agreeing 

A mental challenge 

In persuasion 

For once to be taught

To look up

not down

I suppose when you get hit with a book and told to learn it, you probably don't. But if somebody actually took you inside that book, the journey to learning would be inspiring.

[Nisreen]

Well i dont think i was hit by a book before neither have i hit anyone with a book .... I figured the marks of success at each grade can hold a great deal of scrutiny and to a child it can often be demanding ..... i didnt speak until i was 5 and i knew how to speak but i with held speech .... so everyone thought i was pretty dumb and that didnt feel good

thank you

[Paul Bell]

That's the point I was making. Before a book is even opened, the subject should be talked about. That way you might enjoy what you're reading. Sorry if I hit a nerve, wasn't my intention. If I thought you were dumb, I would charge you a million pounds for this review. lol

[Nisreen]

lol
not at all .... pardon me

[sheandherself]

I actually kinda live for the spite and self-denial in learning hard stuff, ha. Anyways, I was able to understand this and even through it's kinda too dreamy and idealistic for me, it's beautifully written and overall nice. I like it.

[Nisreen]

Thank you for your review

[PoeticSorcery]

it's sometimes difficult to learn things without the struggle, I do wish learning stuff was easier

[Nisreen]

Its hard to learn without imagination ..... without the joy ..... thanks :)

[PoeticSorcery]

well I've got the first one, it's the joy part that gets me lol. and you're welcome, sorry if my reviews don't always make since btw, i'm kinda a weirdo lol.

[Nisreen]

i hardly think you are a weirdo ..... learning could be joyful if there is a certain degree of independence to exploring i guess

[PoeticSorcery]

I'm just hiding the bad parts lol. yeah, I always need some free will when learning stuff, I'm stubborn that way :D

[Nisreen]

i guess we all are to some degree !!

[PoeticSorcery]

yeah, poets in particular, but also younger people too sometimes. not that I'm an expert in psychology or anything, just observant.

[Nisreen]

i guess ... its not the greatest trait

[PoeticSorcery]

I'm not even sure what is the greatest trait lol

[Nisreen]

Love the one thing that made man exceptional is the ability to love

[PoeticSorcery]

then I guess i'll have to wait til I find it, and get back to you on that lol

[Nisreen]

Give it freely and you are sure to find it coming back

[PoeticSorcery]

I suppose we'll just have to find out if that advice holds true, I hope she doesn't turn me down if I do let her know.

[Nisreen]

you got my best wishes
i wish you never get turned down :)

[PoeticSorcery]

me too lol, though technically I've only asked someone out once, and been turned down once, and that was mostly me being stupid lol. (sad but true, I was stupid)

[Nisreen]

i bet this time around there wont be any turning down

[PoeticSorcery]

we'll see once I find someone i'll think it's ok to ask out. it's hard when a lot of the girls I want to ask out live far away.

[Nisreen]

lol ...... move :P

[PoeticSorcery]

but where to I wonder? :P

[Nisreen]

Canada ..... cant go wrong there lol :)

[PoeticSorcery]

so it would seem, though I'm not sure how I'd go aboot it :P

[Nisreen]

well .... you will

[PoeticSorcery]

if it gets me what I want I might :D

[Nisreen]

its a gorgeous place to be .... so if you dont find what you want
you just might get what you need

[PoeticSorcery]

apparently it is said lol

[Nwang]

Awesome work.....truly magnificent!!!

[Nisreen]

Thank you so much

[AmandaFuller]

Amazing job!! Keep it up.

[Nisreen]

Thank you Amanda

[AmandaFuller]

Anytime!! 😊

I have a trilogy I have written, not published here, that revolves so heavily around music, storms, & orchestras. I notice you seem partial to writing of music as well. At the end of the day, our works are much more than a collection of words. The words bring about something far greater than languages...

[Nisreen]

Look forward to reading your trilogy
Merci
