slate and chalk
#WritcoPoemPrompt49 @AtulPurohit
The days of slate and chalk,
Are not easy to erase,
They hold memories,
Of my childhood, Days spent in the classroom,
Learning to read and write,
The sound of the chalk,
As it scratched with all its might.

The slate so smooth and cool,
A blank canvas to be filled,
With lessons and equations,
And stories to be thrilled.

The sight of the teacher,
Writing with such grace,
On the blackboard so grand,
In that spacious place.

Those days of slate and chalk,
Are etched in my mind,
A time of innocence and wonder,
That I often find.

And though the world has changed,
And technology has advanced,
The memories of those days,
Will forever be enhanced.

For the days of slate and chalk,
Will always remain,
A cherished part of my childhood,
That I will forever retain.
