School Daze

Daylight shines and fills the sky,

kids walk to school from homes nearby.

Doors and windows open wide,

More kids arrive from the bus they ride.

Children walk down narrow halls, 

and artwork fill the spacious walls.

Lessons taught with boards and chalk,

not the time for kids to talk.

Activities fill their day with fun,

lunch then recess, time to run.

The day soon ends, as school lets out,

all the kids will play and shout.

They return to homes most filled with love,

now all are safe, thanks to above.

Now the day has turned to night,

such things repeat, within plain sight.

For those that seek, and those that know,

when darkness arrives, the rooms will glow.

Ghostly spirits, from long years past,

return to school for such a blast.

They play with things found in the room,

but give up quickly, filled with gloom.

toys and trinkets, and shiny phones,

more frustration, and louder moans.

They play new games, not known back then,

and enjoy their time, and remember when.

Soon midnight bells will fill the air, 

no one will know they were even there.

Our ghostly friends begin to frown,

as sunlight approaches within the town.

The time has come to disappear,

but will return again, when night is here.
