Learning Poems
Ages of Acclaim
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I plan to discover more works of the great masters,
Like the rich green meadow find of bright red asters!
That is my New Year's resolution, a pledge to myself-
To enjoy and benefit from history's vast store of wealth;
And the glories of yesteryear lie waiting upon the shelf.

by Dorothy Eleanor
Every child reaches the age
When their thoughts need no consent.
When hearts twist and writhe,
Simple encounters evoke torment.
Days pass as moments,

And eagerly attend my lessons well.
But though I strive, and in the end excel,

Where stands youth from old men facing death?
I search my lessons vainly for such scope,

We are mentors that prompt their yearning
Reading is a skill that we must impart.

piecemeal
by Rikske Kessner
In fragments, I find you,
piece by piece,
each shard a story,
a glimpse through the cracks.
Moments drift,
unanchored,
and I catch only slivers,
glints of who you are.

A Lesson Learned
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Charles Green was eight years old, and his father was a great teacher.
Yet, Charlie preferred playing to school; because he was a daydreamer.
The Greens lived in the town of Ivoria, where dahlias nodded greeting;
And Charlie frolicked with Sam and Scarlett, until sun came, bleeding.
Samuel and Scarlett were his siblings. Both got good grades in school;
Like gardens dyed in burgundy, red, orange, and gold, lovely as jewels.
Fantastic, flaming nights were not far, and gusts fitfully tossed flowers;

365 days we are celebrating you,
Life redefined in 2 pink lines,

Impatience is a family trait, 12/09/21,
365 days we are celebrating you.

Fatigued but morning comes again,
