Kids deserve the freedom to
Learn from real life’s teachable
Moments which are often caught
Not taught in typical schools but
Observed in (extra)ordinary daily
Pursuits at home with their parents.
I remember one of my sons sincerely reciting: “A,B,C,D,E,F,G…H,I,J,K, Elmo pee” ! Linking this sestet to dVerse where Lillian holds class 🙂

teen-age male on
testosterone
in search of new
thrills-on-wheels
dreams of motorcycle;
engine roar combines
with speed’s blur…
wind-in-face freedom.
middle-age parents
experience concern,
envision fragile-ness
of life-and-limb;
postpone possibility
until son leaves family nest…
Forty-four word quadrille for “cycle” prompt at dVerse Poets this week…
a poem in my pocket
