My Young Poet

For teacher appreciation week the students were to write a Thank You note to their teacher on Friday.  El and her teacher, Mrs. Tilley, both enjoy writing.  So El decided to write her a poem about writing.  Here it is.

Writing

In a dash

Ink spreads upon the page

Leaving drops behind 

As the writer plunges their character

Through poverty and disaster

Or simply frolicking and galavanting through a field

The writer copes with surrounding nudniks

Just to record the words

Of an untold tale.
