BACK TO SCHOOL
by
🏫 Jeffrey Alvarez
The summer heat begins to fade⛱
New adventure plans are made.
Shiny shoes and shiny backpacks,🏫
Emotions bubble, hearts feel light.
Friends laugh, ready to play.
In the classroom we will learn every day.
Computers, books and pencils too.🏫
Back to school, a new world!
Under the weight of books and dreams,
We find our place in changing topics,
The promise of lessons yet to be learned,
A world of wonder, a chance to long for.
From the morning bells to the evening light,
Each day unfolds with new delight,
In classrooms full of curiosity,
We gather knowledge, we free our minds.
However, mixed with joy is a hint of fear,
Of the trials and tests that await us,
But in the challenge, we will find our way,
Together we rise, no matter what happens.
Back to school

Karen Maricela Sanchez
In between emotions of going back to school
A swirl of millions of sensations
On a roller coaster that goes up and down with different reactions
Two paths in which one calls a classroom
The other path saying summer
Joy or nostalgia?
Is it something that I always question
Stress or anger?
Something I can't decide
A mountain of doubts and sensations with different emotions
Joy mixes with duty
Academic stress clouds my view but I don't know what to feel
Missing rest and unhurried days
Anxiously waiting for the stacked books
Yet here I stand, in between,
Pencils, books, rulers, formulas, texts, sun, movies, friends, outings, free time
Back to school feelings
by
Mateo Valladares
The day has come.
The smell of paper, freshly bright,
A summer's end, a new day's light.
The backpack waits, a canvas bold.
For new stories, for truths untold.
A nervous thrill, a joyful fear,
Of friendships forged, and lessons clear
The hallway hums, a vibrant sound,
Familiar faces all around
New books await, a world to see,
Adventures waiting for me
So raise the pen, and let us start,
A brand new year, with a brand new mind
Back to school
by
Claudio Martinez
A hush of wonder fills the doors.
Pencils sharpened, whiteboards clean,
New faces join the old routine.
Excited chatter, nerves in tow,
Rows of desks in morning glow.
A fresh start, a blank page
Back to school, I can’t wait!
