"formals" poems
Dress up days
FOR KIDS
I don't mean the times
They dressed up for Church
Or for special holidays
But the times they found
A long dress in their moms closet,
And their moms high heel shoes
Oh and the hats they found
In a hat box in the closet.
Please mom, please....
They were in seventh Heaven...
And the special box
In a best friends basement,
Filled with formals
And a box of high heels.
That insured them a great
Play day...
I grew up in
Dress up days
My girls grew up in
Dress up days
But this day and age
It seems there are
Dress up days
Filled with Princesses
Bought at Target
Or on Amazon.
Stealing the creative ability of a child.
They are expensive, beautiful
And they sparkle
I'm sure the little girls
Probably get more excited
Over Princess dresses
That sparkle
Then the ones that hang
Over their shoulders
And drag on the ground.
Either way, they can still
Have fun while singing
"I'm so fancy"

This week, Jesse Herndon has more on her plate than the typical high school student.
She has spent hours after school each day making calls, finalizing details for an event happening Sunday.
Collecting donated items for an upcoming silent auction. Calling every bakery in Greensboro.
“It’s very stressful,” said Herndon, a junior at Weaver Academy.
But it’s all for a good cause.
She’s organizing an event with free pastries, live music, a fashion show and a silent auction, which will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday night at The Blind Tiger, 1819 Spring Garden Street in Greensboro.
Admission is $4 with the donation of clothing of any size. The goal is to collect clothes that would comply with Standard Mode of Dress, or SMOD, the uniforms required at some local schools.
The fashion show will feature clothes from Plato’s Closet, Mack and Mack, and Patina Bridal and Formals.
The silent auction would include items such as Weaver Academy student artwork and a gift bag full of beauty products valued at about $200. Herdon is still seeking donations of items to auction.
The event will benefit Backpack Beginnings, a local organization that provides food and clothing for thousands of local needy children.
All 127 Guilford schools have a dress code, but a few dozen require students to wear uniforms.
Some parents have complained about the cost of buying the uniforms. They’ve also complained that the uniform dress codes vary from school to school, requiring additional clothes purchases if a child changes schools.
Parents and some students also described dress code violations for wearing a jacket with a hood, a logo deemed too large or the wrong color shoelaces.
“SMOD is really expensive,” Herdon said. She knows because her sisters have attended SMOD schools.
In January, the Guilford County Board of Education unanimously approved changes to its policy on SMOD. Principals of current SMOD schools have until June to survey parents on whether to continue requiring students to wear uniforms in the 2015-16 school year.
Now, school administrators at traditional schools also have to get public input before requiring uniforms. Ever two years, traditional schools with SMOD have to reconsider requiring uniforms and demonstrate public support for the policy.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/evening-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/bridesmaid-dresses

వేట వేట ఉరుకుల పరుగుల వేట
Place అవాలి అంటూ అనిపించే thoughtaaa
Infosys,tcs అంటూ చాలానే ఉన్నాయంటా
ముందడుగు వేయాలంటే ముందుగానే ఉండిపోవాలంటా
మనమంటే మనకి భాగానే తెలుసుండాలంటా
రంగులన్నీ మార్చుకుంటూ ముందుకే సాగిపోవాలి అంటా
Tip top గా ఉండాలంటే hip hop కే దూరంగా ఉండాలంట
Software లో ఫిక్స్ కావాలంటే soft అయిపోవాలంటే
Fashion నుంచి formals కి change ఎ అవలంతా
Projects తో పస్తులుంటూ career నే గెంటుకోవాలంటే
అయ్యయో ఈ భాదలు మనకే ఎందుకు
ఈ బారం మనపైన ఎందుకు . .
ఓ ఓ ఓహో ఓ ఓ ఓహో

Before I begin, I wanted to let you know,
I was kinda young, smart and So.
No one ever looked at me, I wasn’t ‘Normal.’
So I kept being me, ignoring all the Formals.
A year has passed, I’m still a little bit of the same.
I continued on with my life, whenever it came.
Another year goes by, I’ve certainly evolved.
I became more experienced, my stupidity dissolved.
I found out more about myself, and tried to be more involved.
As I enter the next year, I slowly begin to fall.
No one seems to notice me anymore, i’m Just another random phone call.
Soon, people only recognized me for moving so silently,
I’d slowly lose myself in my personal gravity.
And in the end, I slipped from existence and became the one known as,
“Nobody In Society.”

Wimpy like the kid that made a life for himself dreaming,
The school systems corrupt in making kids realize their meaning,
Be social while you can and everybody will start spreading,
Just don't be alone in a society that is killing,
Make a choice , take a chance , break a heart , learn romance,
no religion in a school full of ******** and some hands,
Giving peer pressure to the weak and the strong prevails,
formals coming up in a week , better learn to dance..
Bullying increases , kids are mean and everybody knows it,
suicide rolls in their minds on the days of Sabbath,
planning to blow your brains out with a gun , i bet you have it,
Then revenge gets involved , kids get killed behind it,
Exchange students don't know what to do in this here crisis,
giving hearts away to ****** , is that called sacrifices?
Teen girls exposing themselves without a care,
Jocks don't rule a school , your mind does , Man you have to fight it.
/
Until i saw you , until i saw you,
you were unbelievable, eyes the color of blue,
i didn't know what to do...
until i saw you..
teen girls in existence could not compare to you,
yeah i'm thinking out loud for a perfect view,
a better sight of you..
the beauty in you..

**** the Greek organizations
for turning my best friends
into girls that willingly throw their bodies
at boys who do not care about them.
**** the Greek system
for making them into people
who value their significance
in terms of letters that dead people came up with a long time ago.
**** the 'brothers'
for breaking them down
and making them say yes
when their answer really was 'no'.
**** their "sisters"
for encouraging them to go to formals they don't want to go to
and forcing them to participate in things
they didn't want to do themselves when they were pledging
