Rosa Parks. Deserves the honor. It's about time. Wonderful schoolbus haiku...a true haiku. xo
Nice haiku! And thank you for the background about Rosa Parks. I'm sure that's a name and event everyone knows (or should); it was good to get the added details.

There are children on my street who ride the bus to school ... when it comes down our street and stops to pick them up, my heart skips a beat remembering all those days so many years ago when it was my children. Thanks for the sweet reminder, Gillena.
No children in our over-55 community. I miss them!
It certainly had taken a lot of sacrifices and courage for Miss Parks to bring 'colour' to the fore during her time.

After reading about Rosa Parks, your haiku brings warmth to my heart. Because I can see all those children--all of them!--getting in the same bus, sitting wherever, arriving on time.
This was lovely, Gillena.
What a good choice for the color prompt....love the 'ol yellow school bus. Buses, period, actually and the rest of this.

An interesting read. In India, the school buses are under compulsory rest, which the virus made happen.
Thanks for dropping by Rudraprayaga.
Hope you schools can re open soon.
Stay Safe
