useful parts of me
have not fallen off.
Thoughts are not missing
yet. These eyes can
observe my non-fiction.
Smiling does not require
melting somehow.
A safe place still exists
somewhere. I am now
the teaching, not
the teacher. Everyday
has the whole day
to itself. Nobody threw
dirt in my face. My sun
still floats in the sky.
Introspective...but can we ever trust our judgements of ourselves...lots of thought in so few words...Coach
Cheryl, I've found that it is good to keep the useful parts, perhaps, unlike yourself, I prefer to keep the useless ones too, I'm a little funny that way! A teaching teacher is almost a unique thing these days, and a wonderful example of commitment ... May we clone you if you lose a few parts? :) B.V.A.
Quite a detailed answer. 'I am now the teaching, not/the teacher...' speaks volumes, to me. Glad to hear the sun is still part of your non-fiction. Nice work.

Excellant piece of poem dear Chery. I like your style. Keep poetry always shrouded.
