Le Voyage Magnifique

Back To School

Back to school we go again--
reading, writing, 'rithmatic,
football games on Friday nights,
teeny bopper sock hops, and
active shooter drills.

Poet's notes ▼

1. The Dodoitsu is an ancient form of Japanese poetry, as described in the following link: https://thanetwriters.com/essay/form/what-is-a-dodoitsu/

2. Although the form is frequently applied to amuse by capturing a humorous moment through vivid imagery, I choose to present a different slice of contemporary life. In my day, we hunkered beneath our desks during nuclear attack drills. Today, the threat is active shooters.

Let the creativity flow from your soul!
