so many colors
they mix & match together--
painting butterflies

free verse 10/06/11

Teaching

fight frustration
engage in debate
explore the power of play
learn to think
break the “knowing” we already have
make writing
create something--ANYTHING
scream, “I AM HERE!” to the universe
and be alive

a feast for all my senses--

cut off from everyone else--

charging stuff she can’t afford--
