School Days Poem by Suman Kumar Das

School Days

Rating: 5.0


Morning assembly and prayer
Then begin classes
In half concrete rough rooms.
On six seated benches
Eight pupils sit together
Ramming to one another.

How exciting!
Reading rhymes in chorus,
Learning tricks of BODMAS
Unforgettable Newton’s law
Evolution of homo-sapiens
With fear of teachers’ cane.

Now tolls the recess bell.
Beneath the banyan tree
Open all tiffin boxes
Bread-butter, sweet-snack,
Some share with others
Few snatch from others.

Then starts searching
Hidden treasures in geography.
As recalling remarkable history.
By the time comes dusk
Eighth period gets over.
Were those days back!

These are treasured memories Suman! I think the bunyan tree or gulmohar tree was there within every school compound! In our school also there were many trees under which we used to open our lunch boxes! To top it, there was a small stream flowing by... Those are such sweet days, we would love to go back anytime! Enjoyed ! !
