A Day In School

By Josh Albarran

High-school teacher Laura Mayer in the classroom of New York City's P721M in Houston Street.

Every year in the fall, young people (preschoolers, teenagers and college kids) went back to the place that we love to learn for our future. To all schools across the nation and around the world, this is a poem where everyone spent a day in school.

It's rise and shine on this weekday morning.
Kids gearing up, eating their breakfast and go out to school.
The place that we love to learn.

Everyone went to their favorite classes.
Giving your teacher an apple or something to give and return.
Doing classwork and just having fun with your friends.

When you're in the class, you must follow the teacher's lesson.
Kids come here to get education between now and the future.
Show your work and earn some credit to yourself.

We learn to have success, not failure.
Respect to everyone in school that we trust.
Everyone love to gave fun in school to enjoy.

The Road to Kick-off

By Joshua Albarran - September 4, 2013

MetLife Stadium the home of Super Bowl XLVIII as the NFL kick-off its 94th season on Thursday, September 5, 2013.

In the spirit of the 2013 NFL season on Thursday, Sept. 5 as the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens face the Denver Broncos. So with that, I dedicated this poem to all football fans around the world who had waited for months to see the game they loved.

When a Super Bowl champion is crowded.
The football season conduces and the fans are waited for a new football season.
The game in which football fans loved went silent.
And they were asked "We Want Football!"

For seven-long months, there was no football.
By that time, new players were selected in the draft lottery.
Some of great names in football were either retired by off-season or returned for a new season.
And the fans were asked "We Want Football!"

Training camps were open, fantasy drafts were opened.
Season tickets were opened for all 32 teams.
And the fans were asked "We Want Football!"

Players come out to the field, coaches were making plays.
With all the fun, drama and action to the game.
And with all football fans enjoying the game it watching from stadiums to television sets.
The fans were asked "We Got Football."
