Andrea, great imagery and flow in the verse. Surprise for a Teacher would have scored higher, but you forgot to place the number of the photo you used. Congratulations on your win. Hugs Eve

Some teachers are so special. I know one on Poetry soup. She is clever, and a joy to know. Her kindness is felt all through her words. Can you guess who she is Andrea?

Ahh!! Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. It definitely wasn't a class I was in from the 6 to 9th grades. A large group of bad boys. I finished "Doomed" if you care to read it.Sara

I love everything Norman Rockwell painted... you brought this classic to life with your touching tale of a teacher's love for her students, and vice versa.
