I wrote this last fall right after school started. Fun to reread it now.


Hanging On Just a Little
Virginia Salter

School has started
yeah, yeah, yeah
but I’m still right here
typing away at silly stuff
that I hold quite dear

a walk is waiting for me
not to mention work
life is full of words like that
four letters are their worth

weeds are growing
sun is glowing
mower rests inside
all it needs is someone willing
to be its toiling guide

children with their parents
walk by outside in sun
seeking classrooms, that are fine
where they can learn with fun

summer’s nearly ended
a chill greets the sunny morn
yet butterflies and gnat things
upon the wind are born

lazy hours in restful dreams
must find an end today
as seasons will pile up quite fast
past verano’s quick decay

can’t we just hold up our hand
and holler a big, “Stop!”
just to linger for a while
before the big ball’s drop.
