via Daily Prompt: Jolt
Dreams I have always enjoyed
A World within Worlds
Where Logic simply has no hold
And imagination runs bold
Sometimes a fairy in bright colours was quite a sight
Sometimes a devil filled me with fright
Sometimes I was jumping between the stars
Sometimes I was pole vaulting between bars
Sometimes a song would sing itself
Sometimes a dialogue would repeat itself..
All was perfectly fine…
Till such time… the teachers booming voice
shrieking out my name… gave me such a Jolt
I would literally want to Bolt
Instead I stood quivering
Just Like a Dolt
And often wonder…Why in the World
Are Kids often told…
Follow your Dreams
Which I jolly well Did
And Hit Gold !!
This post is dedicated to all those colourful Dreamers in school

I loved this one. The rhymes, the dreams all dress up the bitter reality of the education system so well!
Thank You😊
Ha ha, enjoyed reading this one karthik. You transported me into the world of beautiful dreams, and the harsh realities of a child.
Good one 👍
Hahaha, nice one, one can’t help dreaming when the periods are long and the break seems too far. Add to the playground outside inviting for a game.
