Robert John Meehan Poems

Main occupation of children enhanced
Life's mode of learning given a chance

Best done when not eating sleeping or complying
...

My pencil is on the floor
Just what am I to do
I'll not get it with my feet
As the other children do
...

Self direction is a virtue
A quality of strength
The development of self
Responsibility at length
...

Sometimes a moment
Stands out in time
A new life discovered
By a lesson in rhyme
...

Now included and of value
I think I've found my pace
Now attentive and supportive
I assume my rightful place
...

Johnny's walking down the hallway
hands neatly at his side
Johnny's walking down the hallway
all the rules he will obey
...

lest i be forgotten
(please notice me today)

forget that i was rotten
...

i have a disability
his name is LD
i think he lives
deep inside of me
...

Flash cards flash cards
Hidden under my bed
Lest my mom drills me
Till I fall over dead
...

A desk lies empty
A missing face to find
A child soon missed by some
Another life consumed by one
...
