a poem

every now and then one of my students gives a gift that i love on many levels. below is a poem linda and I received over the holiday and i had to post it. I love that henry knows about the writing of william carlos williams and i love that he can't remember his name. i also love how he breaks his lines and how he mixes his literal school day noticings with abstract life noticings. enjoy...




Inspired by:

The person that wrote The Red Wheelbarrow

So much depends upon my
Two teachers up by the white
Board. So much depends upon my two
Teachers up by the white board.
The two teachers that teach me
Life. The two teachers that teach
Me life. Up by the white board.
