Writer's Island prompt ~ Class
Life in waiting ~
Wrapped in glossy magazines
With tempting titles
To lure the seeker of living
For a living ~
Science
Engineering
Law
Teaching
Health
~
But where are
The bells and whistles
For the poetry of
Living ~
The happiness of
A lifestyle

Read my latest poem ~ Nomads ~ on AuraGem Songlines. It relates to poetry studied by my Year 12 students. And there is the posting Art of the Classroom with a pic (faces in creation) from my school art room.

We're lured by images that don't always speak the truth. When we find contentment in our lifestyle, we don't shout about it, we keep it as a special, personal thing.
Ah, poets. And artists, and musicians. The undesirables of higher education. 'Cause "you can't make a living at that". Maybe not, but you can be happy with your life. :)
They're trying to re-educate us only for function. We're forgetting life and beginning to exist only as cogs in a machine.
Nicely done.
Life in waiting, wrapped in magazines etc. Wonderful images!
