when I yearn for solitude
What I need most
is the laughter of a friend.
when no one is listening
I realize it is because
I haven't spoken.
Sometimes
when I am bored
I'm actually avoiding
what needs to be done.
Sometimes
when it seems no one understands
I find a thousand others
with similar hopes and fears.
Sometimes
when hope's feather
flutters in the breeze
A new adventure
is about to take flight.
I wrote this in response for today's Teachers Write post. It didn't really follow the prompt, which was to create sensory details about a place, starting with the words "Sometimes". Well, I got one part of it right. As teachers we need to remember that just because a student doesn't follow directions exactly doesn't necessarily mean he/she is being defiant...maybe he/she is being creative.
