Sometimes a blend is good to get an idea of what works and what doesn’t in different contexts. What’s old always can become new. I don’t always refer to the classics after 15 years, but it is nice to show them stuff that blows their mind like “We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks or “A Modest Proposal”

Today is Thanksgiving, & I'm thankful that I have 3 kids growing up as healthy as possible & that my wife is amazing/patient. I went from using AI daily with my students last year to a few times a week with my MS SDC Math/Science classes at a new, more affluent school this year. How about you?
It's like a group of people who all are related to or post about a topic.
You could start with me. There's a bunch of cool people who have starter packs here, lemme look some up for you.
Not sure If I posted that poem right by putting the stanzas as replies to the original post in the thread, but please join in, if you feel so inclined! I'd love to hear your poems about ice cream with grandpa or any other topic!

Happy Friday Jr everyone!

I haven’t been back, not for twenty years,
Yet a bottle of Maaza can summon the tears.
A taste, a memory, a piece of my youth,
Of summers that taught me life’s simple truth.
5/5
The years have stretched, those summers gone,
But Maaza’s tang still carries me along.
Back to Grandpa’s laugh, the dusty skies,
And the simple joy of mango’s guise.

We’d sit on a stoop, watching the world churn,
While sticky ice cream made my fingers burn.
“Mangoes don’t judge if you’re neat or clean,
They just remind you where you’ve been.”

The Maaza cart stood on the street’s edge,
Its bottles gleamed like a golden pledge.
Grandpa cracked one open with practiced ease,
“The taste of our summers,” he’d say to tease.
2/5
What if...a scoop of ice cream could take you back in time?
It’s been twenty years since those summer stays,
When India held my wandering days.
Grandpa and I, through the bustling heat,
Would find respite in a mango treat.
