Poetic Bloomings Imagination


Incongruous

When I was in elementary school,
adults would ask me if I liked it.
I said that I liked school but,
I liked summer vacation better.

The truth is, I’d sit at my desk
gazing out the window
imagining the fun things
I’d rather be doing.

It didn’t seem right to be indoors
when I could be exploring, building,
biking, pretending, playing amongst
fall colors, fun snow or spring puddles.

To me it seemed incongruous
that in order to be educated
you  had to do something stupid
like sit indoors on a nice day.
