[90] Inspiration

melted snow puddles nearby / 

Spring is almost here

[89] I'm Still Too Weak

I've been really strong / 

But brought to tears in seconds / 

Because of her laugh

Smiling at people / 

in New York is a faux pas / 

We are in a rush!

Your beautiful face / 

Hidden from my consciousness / 

Appears late at night

Gonna be alone / 

but feeling unsuccessful / 

worried for next year

The condescension / 

is at an all time how now / 

Pressure's palpable 

[84] Leisure Time

The pleasure that comes / 

with reading an old fav'rit* / 

Oh how I've missed this

Catch a bus or train / 

or make that morning meeting / 

Gotta be on time

Definitely a burden / 

Don't make eye contact!

save for some random comments / 

I should delete you

[80] Strangers to Soul Sisters

There are few people / 

I feel a connection to / 

but it's the strongest

[79] Humble Pie

When I start to feel / 

the slightest bit of success / 

I'm knocked two steps down

[78] Teaching Joys

Writing poetry / 

with second graders is fun / 

They just love to rhyme

[77] All About Penguins

This poem was crafted by my second grade students collectively.

Penguins are the best / 

Penguins can swim very well / 

They are my best friends

Was all by myself / 

It went phenomenally / 

I have the best kids

[75] Downward Spiral

Having crazy thoughts /

And I can't be productive /

Sleep problems away?

Feasted with Knights, Kings / 

Shared meat, mead, and watched jousting / 

A great Saturday

Learning about birds / 

They think of pigeons and crows / 

I dream of penguins!

thinking about U again / 

Missing U a lot

We hear all of the whispers / 

I feel uncomfy*

is getting me in trouble / 

I should pull it back

Hard to fall asleep / 

Harder to wake up on time / 

damn circadian

[68] Future: A Tad Less Uncertain

I know I'll be back /

In many more ways than one / 

But... there's still some doubt

[67] Ruined

It's been a month now / 

I haven't been the same since / 

I feel disgusting

[66] Happy Birthday, Scumbag!

I think about you / 

It sickens me to my core / 

Get out of my head!

[65] Farewell and Good Luck

Heard that you're leaving / 

I wish we could have helped you / 

Maybe others can

[64] Don't Talk about it... BE about it!

Too many complaints / 

'bout "failing education" / 

but they reject work

They're way too salty / 

Deceitfully untasty / 

I don't like pretzels

[62] Stop Hatin'

Teaching in charters /

is under criticism / 

there are pros and cons

[61] My Future

Weighing my options / 

Teaching something I don't like / 

or stay, but unsure

[60] Home Alone

Dancing 'round the room / 

Whipping my hair back and forth / 

Willow can't touch this
