That was a special day

Guardian poems  ( take after  Simon Armitage) The Straight and Narrow by Simon Armitage

That  was  a   special day

That  was  a  day with a  break off

From the usual  time tabled  routine;

Project  teacher’s  visual  class with

His  projector to augment  about  flora

and  fauna, arts   and  history  war  weapons-

 to tenth class  students  avid

in preparing  the final exam .Excitement

is the  order  of  class  before  the projector

was clicked  on. Soon  a  different  excitement

is in the offing for  young  and  old  all alike.

 On the  silver  screen, unexpected, though,

all   visualized human shapes and   shadows

in different  sizes . The imagination could

correlate with  cops  and  prison cells and

speeding   vehicles, crime   and a LIFE

  

 beyond   this life ; unemployment too

in our copious list. That   four    hours’

session  was  unforgettable in all of our lives.
